Eligibility Quiz
Are you currently physically present inside Canada?
Documents Required
The most important document in your application is the Basis of Claim (BOC) form, which outlines exactly why you are seeking protection. You must also provide:
- Identity Documents: Original passports, travel documents, birth certificates, or national ID cards. If you do not have these, you must provide secondary evidence (such as school records or memberships) and explain why your primary IDs are missing.
- Evidence of Risk: Any documentation that supports your fear of return, such as police reports, medical records showing past injuries, threatening letters, news articles about your situation, or affidavits from witnesses.
- Translations: Any document not in English or French must be accompanied by a certified translation and an affidavit from the translator.
- Digital Scans: For inland claims, all documents must be scanned and uploaded to the IRCC Portal.
