The notion that anyone can come to Canada and ask for refugee status is false. The Convention refugee defines refugee very clearly. It does not cover economic disparity or devastation , climate disasters, or state failure. Convention refugees are outside their home country or the country they normally live in. They are not able to return because of a well-founded fear of persecution based on: race religion political opinion... nationality, or membership in a social group, such as women or people of a particular sexual orientation. A person in need of protection is a person in Canada who cannot return to their home country safely. This is because if they return, they would be subject to a: danger of torture risk to their life, or risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. A Refugee claim may not be eligible to be referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board if the applicant: has been recognized as a Convention refugee by another country that you can return to. has already been granted protected person status in Canada. has arrived via the Canada-United States border. is not admissible to Canada on security grounds, or because of criminal activity or human rights violations. made a previous refugee claim that was not found eligible. made a previous refugee claim that was rejected by the IRB. abandoned or withdrew a previous refugee claim. https://www.canada.ca//irregular-border-crossings-asylum.h

Visiting Canada is no laughing matter. People with citizenships that require a TRV may face refusals. As stated in the article ", the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship confirmed that the temporary resident visas had been denied because "an officer was not satisfied that the applicant would depart Canada at the end of the authorized stay." Providing strong evidence is often key for a successful application. Having family in Canada, even if they are Canadian citizens, is not enough. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5102180

In most Canadian provinces newcomers have a waiting period before the provincial insurance plan covers them. For that waiting period newcomers are highly encouraged to get a privet insurance plan. Also, Provincial plans do not cover drugs and many other benefits. Private plans are often the solution. We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Mira Gilnauer who specializes in many insurance products that can provide you peace of mind. you can contact her directly and visit her page https://www.facebook.com/insurancebymira/
