 One thing you want to consider when you're making a refugee claim in Canada is the processing time. A lot of people think that when they come to Canada and they make a refugee claim, they're going to become a permanent residence soon after and their family members are also going to join them soon after. This is really far from the truth. In fact, when you come to Canada and make a refugee claim, it can take anywhere from six months to a year to have your refugee hearing. And if you're approved, you then need to apply for permanent residence. Once you apply for permanent residence, you'll be able to apply at the same time for your family members if you have any outside Canada, your spouse, your children. But that part, the permanent resident part, can take anywhere right now almost two years, if not more, to be finalized. So when you come to Canada and make a refugee claim, you need to understand that a decision can be made almost two to four years later in order for you to become a permanent resident and you're potentially looking at being separated from your family members for about two to four years. This is really important to know because there's a lot of people that come to Canada thinking that it's going to take a couple of months, but in fact, it could take years. And if you have a spouse outside Canada, if you have children outside Canada, you might not be able to see them for two, three, or four years. So very important to know this if you're thinking of coming to Canada to make your refugee claim.
