REFUGEE LAW
You can apply for refugee protection in Canada if you meet the definition of a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection.
CONVENTION REFUGEE
Convention refugees are people living outside their national country and, because of fear of persecution, cannot be protected within their country or return to it. That fear of persecution must be well-founded and based on their:
Their membership in a particular social group (including groups that the person cannot change, such as gender, sexual orientation, past memberships, or groups they choose to join).
Persecution is defined to include such things as death threats, torture, or imprisonment by the government, guerrillas, or other non-government agents, such as an abusive husband.
A person in need of protection is a person who will face the danger of torture, a risk to their life or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment if they return to their country of nationality.
In both cases, the risk faced by the refugee must be a personal one and not one related to a general risk in the home country. The risk must also be one that the authorities in the home country are unable or unwilling to protect the refugee claimant from.
