Asylum Seekers in Canada Must Prove Danger to Avoid Deportation

In a recent clarification by Canada's immigration authorities, it was emphasized that seeking asylum does not qualify as an automatic exemption from immigration laws. Asylum seekers must provide substantial proof of potential danger or threat they would face if returned to their country of origin. This step is necessary to avoid deportation and be granted asylum in Canada.

Key Takeaways

Canada's immigration policy requires asylum seekers to demonstrate credible danger in their home countries to be considered for asylum. The policy update stresses that claims lacking evidence may result in deportation. This clarification ensures that only genuine claims of danger are processed, maintaining the integrity of Canada's asylum system.
