There are rules about who can make a refugee claim and who can be accepted as a refugee. For example, if you:
- entered Canada on a date after June 24, 2020, you must make your refugee claim before one year passes
- get a removal order, you cannot make a refugee claim in Canada
And if you wait too long to make a refugee claim, it might seem like you’re not really afraid.
You should get legal advice as soon as possible.
