The Humanitarian Program in Canada is part of the country's immigration policy and is aimed at providing humanitarian assistance to individuals who are in danger or vulnerable situations in their countries of origin. This program allows individuals to obtain refugee status if their immigration application is based on well-founded fears of persecution due to race, nationality, religion, or political affiliation, or on well-founded fears of violence or life-threatening circumstances.
To apply for the humanitarian program in Canada, an individual must be physically present on Canadian soil, including at ports of entry, airports, or seaports. Additionally, to be eligible for the program, it is important not to have been convicted of crimes against humanity or serious crimes under Canadian law.
The Humanitarian Program provides an opportunity for people facing difficult circumstances in their home countries to seek protection and start anew in Canada, where they can begin a new life and ensure their safety and well-being.
