Alright! So, I'm sure that we all must have heard that XYZ person went to XYZ country, some years ago
there he claimed Refugee and now he is a permanent resident of that country. He is well settled with his family and has a good business.
We all must have heard this but hardly anyone knows about refugees actually.
What's the process and which countries accept refugees?
Can you apply for it in Canada? and if yes then, are you eligible for it? and what's the process for it?
So, we'll discuss all these things in today's video, I hope you'll like the video.
So, before wasting much time let's start the video.
So first of all, we'll talk about, Who is a refugee?
Because both refugee and immigrant leave their own country and shift to some other country but there's a lot of difference between the two.
Because immigrants like me, choose where we want to go like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, etc, and do we want to go on a study visa or work visa. We chose all these things by ourselves.
But the refugees have to leave their country forcefully due to some reasons like there's terrorism in their country,
or there's some war going on in their country, or maybe they are in some danger due to their caste, color, or religion
or maybe they live in some border area like some areas of J&K, about which we usually hear in the news that situations are kind of stressful there
or where people feel afraid to go out of their houses fearing they would be killed because of their color
So basically Refugee is the person who has a fear of being a victim of such situations or who's getting through such a situation
But that doesn't mean only those people can apply as Refugee because we generally hear that some Indian people applied as Refugee in other countries
So how do they claim Refugee? or how can you claim Refugee if you are not in that much worst situation
So in Canada's Refugee Programme, two kinds of applications can be filed
one is Outside Canada and another one is Inside Canada
Outside Canada means people who are in some country other than Canada
the other one is Inside Canada which you can apply for after landing in Canada
so very few people claim for it by saying that they have some danger in their home country due to their religion, caste, or color, because if you do so while sitting in some other country then it'll take a lot of time
Because in countries like India there are so many languages, castes, religions
so sometimes this kind of situation happens there
So on the basis of that people come here and file for Refugee, claiming that they feel the threat to their life, there
so this is what Indian people do.
But actually, Most Refugees are Afghanis like we recently saw
I'm not saying Refugees are Afghanis only, I'm just giving an example like we recently saw what happened in Afghanistan. They took over the whole region and warned that you have this many days and the one who wants to leave can leave and the rest stays here.
Because their own Prime Minister left the country, I guess.
So at that time, Canada provided shelter to many such Refugees.
And I'm sure you all must have seen the videos, that many people landed here.
So this is the thing.
So this is the worst situation and if you are in not that much worst situation but you feel like you have a threat to life due to some political or religious riots.
So in that situation, you must be able to prove that you have danger in your home country and then the Canadian Embassy will take your interviews too whether you are in Canada or your home country, according to the Canadian Immigration Programme for Refugees.
Basically, you have to prove strongly that it is not safe for you to stay there.
Your human rights are getting violated or you're getting tortured mentally or you're getting abused, physically.
This whole thing you'll have to prove.
And after that, all the provinces of Canada provide information regarding the number of people they can provide shelter.
So on the basis of that, Canada Immigration Services provide information regarding the number of applications they will accept in that particular year.
And the main thing for your application to get accepted is to get sponsored by someone.
A sponsor can be anyone, a normal person like me or you, or any family who wants to help someone or any social organization or some Canadian Community or some other organization that provides support.
By support, I mean shelter, food, financial support, mental support, everything you'll have to provide them.
So firstly the person claiming Refugee needs to prove that he/she is facing some danger and will have to leave their country and then the sponsor would have to prove that they'll be able to provide everything.
And then the whole process including interviews, documentation, etc. It's a very long process and it's not as easy as a student visa.
And it's a very complicated and time-consuming process.
And it's not like 1000 people filed an application and all of them got it. There are very few who get it.
So if someone lands as a Refugee in Canada or a whole family lands as a Refugee in Canada then the Government of Canada or of a particular province provides shelter to them and takes care of all their financial services for 1 year.
They are sent to some community centers where they can learn English or French or they can learn some skills. Government helps them in getting employment,
and the kids are given education support. So in conclusion they are given every support but the process prior to this is very lengthy as the government wants to be sure that are they choosing the right candidates.
and the ones who are sponsoring them can take care of them in every way possible because if the refugee comes out from a war-like situation, he/she needs mental support
and they need a person who can talk to them, guide them about Canada. All these things are required. So the Government here makes sure that the process is genuine and all the facilities are provided to them when they land here.
So these are the things a person gets as a Refugee and I will provide a link of all the things that are needed to be proved in the description.
You can go and check how you can apply for this and what are the things you need to show and the rest I told you that you need to prove that your life is under threat in your home country or the place you living in.
So I hope that in today's video you got to learn something new and if you liked it then do Like, Share, and Subscribe and we will meet in some other video. Till then Good-Bye.
