 so happy that I met with the right people at the right place at the right time and yes here is it thank you Surin ma'am thank you so much guys welcome back to my youtube channel so those of you who are here for the first time let me introduce myself and tell you that I am a lawyer in Ontario Canada you can read about me the link is in the description box you can also get in touch with me the link is in the description box if you have any other query or concern you can put in the comment section I try and blog about all the immigration policies and immigration law that is currently in place in Canada according to the immigration and refugee protection act so let me get some authentic information for you because I know out there there is a lot of mess about Canadian immigration in today's vlog I'm going to discuss asylum status in Canada what is the evidence involved how does the immigration and refugee protection both deal with it what is the most important evidence and why so many people who come to me and are my clients they say that they do not feel that they have enough evidence and what is the alternate solution to it so guys let's start by understanding that what a refugee is basically a refugee is a person who is not an immigrant an immigrant would want to go overseas or go to a country because of the fact that he wants more economic opportunities but as a refugee you have fear of persecution in your home country could be nationality could be gender issues could be lgbtq rights sexual orientation could be any other political ground could be anything because of which you are not any more safe in your country and you do not feel safe or there is some kind of threat of fear in your own country so there are many the Canada has been the land of refugees since 1700s since 1700s the refugees have been coming into Canada be it Polish be it American loyalists be it Romanians be it Ukrainians be it people from Czech Republic recently people from Syria over Palestine everybody wants to and is seeking refuge in Canada because as you know Canada has very very lenient immigration policies and is a very welcoming country most important evidence that the immigration refugee board would want to look at that is the most important thing in asylum case is your own testimony so your own testimony and your own credibility is the most important source so many of the clients who come to me and say this thing that they do not have enough evidence from back home I tell them that it is not a point of concern why is it not a point of point of concern per se is because your own testimony your own credibility and we have so many other things by way of which we can prove that yes you are not safe in your own country and we do that so how do we do that we do that by convincing and by keeping a credible by keeping you as a credible witness it is also very important to note that the information that you give in your basis of claim is of immense important even till the federal court even if your case has to go till the uppermost court then it is a very important document so you have to be very sure what all the information you're given there it has to be credible with your testimony hi shereen ma'am how are you thank you so much shereen ma'am for giving me this great opportunity first of all thank you so very much that you helped me a lot from the beginning maybe today if I were to say that 30 percent is credit goes to you I know that you don't like when I give you credit but yes but for sure you were the main point throughout my journey like since I came to Canada and like my journey as a refugee from Pakistan to Canada to be honest in Canada government no doubt government supports you a lot government gives you social insurance health coverage and like government fully support you but in the opposite direction you don't support the people here that I was like when I was in Canada so I had to rent a house and mostly people denied that okay you're a refugee we're not giving you this too that you're a refugee we're not giving you which is very bad sometimes it's not so hard disheartening somebody referred me that there is an institution that has a as an office where the workers can guide you very well and then I met with the shireen and of course his co-workers and they all have me a lot I mean I felt that my 50 percent I was depressed and at one time you are depressed on the other side you are in fear that what will happen to me and if you find a person who guides you 100 percent so I think that part and that was the best part when I met shireen like that was awesome now I am here and I'm happy and I'm so happy I'm so blessed that I'm in Canada I don't regret and secondly I am so happy that I met with the right people at the right place at the right time and yes here is it thank you shireen ma'am thank you so much
