Not everyone can apply for immigration as a refugee. Refugees and people needing protection are those in or outside Canada who fear returning to their home country. In keeping with its humanitarian tradition and international obligations, Canada provides protection to thousands of people every year.
Canada offers refugee protection to people in Canada who fear of persecution or who may be at risk of torture or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment, and are unwilling or unable to return to their home country.
Groups and individuals can sponsor refugees from abroad who qualify to come to Canada.
