Refugees & Protected Persons

Refugees & Protected Persons

Safety, Dignity, and a New Beginning in Canada

One of the greatest joys of Canadian immigration is the chance to bring loved ones closer. Through Canada’s Family Sponsorship programs, permanent residents and citizens can reunite with their spouses, children, parents, and grandparents — building stronger families and brighter futures together.

About Us

Who Qualifies as a Refugee or Protected Person?

You may qualify for refugee protection in Canada if you:

  • Are outside your home country and unable to return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

  • Face a risk to life, cruel or unusual treatment, or punishment if returned to your country.

Canada offers protection through two main pathways:

  • Resettlement from Abroad – For refugees referred by the UNHCR, a private sponsor, or another referral organization.

  • Refugee Claims Inside Canada – For individuals who apply for protection after arriving in Canada.

How BridgeFort Supports You

We understand the urgency and sensitivity of refugee matters. BridgeFort Immigration provides:

  • Claim & Application Guidance – Helping you prepare a strong refugee claim or resettlement application.

  • Procedural Fairness & Hearings Support – Assisting with submissions before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).

  • Humanitarian & Compassionate Applications (H&C) – For those who may not meet the strict refugee definition but still face significant hardship if required to return home.

  • Document Preparation & Evidence Gathering – Building a detailed, credible case with supporting materials.

  • Ongoing Representation – Standing beside you through hearings, appeals, or reviews.

Why Refugee Protection Matters
