Canada Just Announced Michigan Residents Can Now Seek Asylum, Here’s How
The United States has long been known as a place where people can seek asylum and build a better life for themselves. It’s called the American dream, and for many years many have questioned whether or not the American dream is still obtainable.
There are many people out there who feel like places like Canada are a much better place to live than the United States, however, the process of switching citizenship is not something that’s super easy. However, it turns out that seeking asylum in Canada for Michigan is something that can actually be done.
Not only have I never heard about this before, but the Canadian Border Service Agency recently made a Facebook post notifying people that if they intend to come to the Canadian and United States land border to seek asylum as a refugee, they must first make a claim and meet one of the safe third country agreement exceptions. Otherwise, people will be turned back at the border.
It’s also important to remember that you take a massive risk in seeking asylum in Canada. This isn’t a quick decision you want to make.
Basically, if you make a false asylum claim you could be banned from returning to Canada completely, or your family might not be able to come to Canada in the future. They clearly state that you must enter the country at a land border airport or a seaport.
Both for those who are seriously interested in claiming asylum, you can get more information about it by clicking this link, just be prepared to have a health, criminal, security, and background check, and have a medical exam with you.
They require concrete evidence of persecution and the risks of being in your home country. So just remember that in case you’re only trying to do it for the poutine and the pizza at McDonald’s.
