Refugee Claim

Canada acknowledges the Geneva Convention guidelines, in relation to the status and protection of refugees from persecution. Around the world, many suffer from human rights violations and fear of returning to their native countries.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms supports any refugee’s claim of basic human rights violations on the basis of:
  • Religion
  • Race
  • Nationality
  • Membership in a particular social group
The eligibility of the refugee is determined based on
  • Proof of persecution
  • Inability to be protected by the police or state
  • Proper reason for being persecuted
  • Individual not safe anywhere, in his/her country.
In addition, Canada allows groups and individuals to sponsor qualified refugees .

There are also, outside of Canada applications available for:
  • Government Sponsored Refugees
  • Privately Sponsored Refugees
  • Self Supporting Refugees
The experienced office of Joel E. Tencer has successfully processed several refugee claims within Canada and abroad. Complete our online assessment form to get your application started.
