How to Apply for Asylum in Canada: A Guide by DocsBase Canada

Canada is recognized around the world for its commitment to protecting human rights and offering refuge to individuals fleeing persecution. If you fear returning to your home country due to race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group, you may be eligible to apply for asylum in Canada. At DocsBase Canada, we’re here to help make that process smoother—especially when it comes to accurate, certified translations of your documents.

Who Can Apply for Asylum in Canada?

To apply for asylum (also known as making a refugee claim), you must be:

  • Physically present in Canada.

  • Unable or unwilling to return to your country because of a well-founded fear of persecution or risk to your life, safety, or freedom.

There are two main ways to make a refugee claim in Canada:

  1. At a Port of Entry (airport, land border, or seaport): Inform a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer that you wish to claim asylum.

  2. Online or at an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) office: You can submit your refugee claim through the IRCC Portal.

Once your claim is submitted, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) will schedule a hearing to assess whether you meet the criteria to be granted asylum.

How DocsBase Canada Supports the Asylum Process

DocsBase Canada is proud to serve refugees and asylum seekers by providing certified translation services tailored to Canadian immigration standards. Many refugee claims require documents such as:

  • Identity documents (passports, copyright)

  • Police reports

  • Medical records

  • Witness statements

  • Proof of persecution (e.g., news articles, legal records)

If these documents are not in English or French, Canadian immigration authorities require certified translations. Incorrect or unofficial translations can delay your case—or worse, cause it to be rejected.
