Refugee Determination: Refugee Status

Habitual Residence Dept: Nicholas Keung s writing assumes that anyone coming to Canada is a refugee if she or he claims to be one. Nowhere in his writing has he informed readers about the real criteria for determining the refugee status not only in Canada but elsewhere as well, according to The Star. Harry V. Herman , former IRB member, Re: Getting asylum the luck of the draw? March 4 As an immigration reporter, he should know that A Convention refugee is a person who is outside of their country of nationality or habitual residence and who is unable or unwilling to return to that country because of a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, political opinion, nationality or membership in a particular social group. This should be ting point of any discussion on refugee determination. When he is writing about the cases from Belize and Trinidad, he should have stated what these refugee claimants feared in these countries and how are they not protected due to their membership in a particular race, religion, political opinion, nationality or membership in a particular social group. As reported in the news.
