Refugee Applications with Shiraishi Visa JP Canada – Handled by a Consultant with a IRB License
Date Posted:October 22, 2025
Last Updated:September 24, 2026
A refugee claim is an application to the Canadian government requesting international protection, made by people who cannot return to their home country because they would face persecution, torture or serious harm.
Claims are subject to strict conditions and review.
At Shiraishi Visa JP Canada, our Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant Toko Gould (RCIC) is licensed through the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada to represent clients in refugee claims.
What Is a Refugee Claim?
A refugee claim is an appeal for international protection made to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on the grounds that returning to one’s country would result in persecution or serious danger.
Applicants may qualify if they fear persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
Not Everyone is Eligible
Refugee claims are strictly regulated, and not every case will be accepted. Some key points include:
- You must already be outside your home country at the time of the claim.
- If you hold multiple nationalities or permanent residence in another country, you must prove persecution in all of them.
- You must show that the state cannot or will not protect you.
- General conditions such as war or natural disasters alone are not grounds for a refugee claim.
For example, people targeted for political opinion, tortured, or left unprotected by their government may have their claims accepted. On the other hand, someone affected only by an earthquake or who simply wants an alternative path to Canadian permanent residence would not qualify.
Examples of Cases That May Be Accepted
Refugee claims may be accepted in cases such as:
- Individuals facing threats or persecution due to political opinion
- Victims of torture or those unable to receive protection from their government
Claims are not accepted when based solely on:
- Natural disasters
- Failed immigration or permanent residence applications
