A refugee is an individual who resides outside their nation of origin and possesses a legitimate fear of experiencing persecution based on factors such as their race, religion, nationality, affiliation with a particular social group, or political beliefs.

As for asylum seekers located within Canada or at its borders, their applications for refugee status are assessed and determined within Canada. Canada holds legal responsibilities to refugees within its borders, with the most significant duty being the prohibition of their deportation to a situation where they may encounter persecution.

Annually, Canada resettles numerous refugees from different nations where they are temporarily residing. These refugees may be found in various situations, such as refugee camps, urban areas, or struggling to endure in a country lacking legal status and fundamental rights. Some may even be detained or at risk of being forcibly sent back to a place where they could face persecution.

These people need protection, and Canada offers programs to address this requirement

There are many reasons why the government might take longer than usual. One of them might be because of the high number of applications they are attempting to handle. Unfortunately, if an important key in the application is forgotten, it can be returned in full. In other cases, where information is provided incorrectly, IRCC may request the applicant to resend a corrected document or provide additional information. Either of these cases will cause a delay in the application as the immigration officer will need these errors amended before the application can continue.

In the event of an undue processing delay, and as a last resort, one can request an Order of Mandamus from the Federal Court to compel the IRCC to decide the case. Before doing so, the applicant must exhaust all other options of following up with IRCC after the expected processing time has passed.

The TRV is a document issued by a Canadian Immigration Visa Office outside Canada, showing that the holder has satisfied the requirements for admission to Canada as a visitor. TRVs may be for single entry or multiple entry. As a rule, tourists are admitted for six months. Temporary foreign workers and international students are admitted for varying periods, as determined on a case-by-case basis. Extensions may be applied for from within Canada.

It is important to note that possessing a valid TRV does not necessarily mean that the Canadian Port of Entry officer will admit the visitor into Canada. At the Port of Entry, all visitors must demonstrate that the purpose of their visit to Canada is temporary. Officers at the Port of Entry will deny admission to all persons who, in their opinion, do not intend to leave Canada at the expiry of their visitor status.

Misrepresentation occurs when information is provided to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) that is inconsistent, inaccurate, or incomplete.
