Refugee Claimant (Protected Person)

[Lilolilo123]

I applied Refugee internally within Canada and get approved. I haven't put my common law partner in my initial refugee claim as she doesn't need refugee protection. However, I am planning to include my partner in my PR process(PR process for Protected Person). Can I do that way?

Were you common law before you received NOD? If so did you list her as a family member?

Common law partner means living together for more than 12 consecutive months so when i do initial Refugee Protection we are not included in it. I do refugee protection within Canada

Yes. We do before the NOD. We qualified before NOD. However, my partner does not need refugee protection.

Did you update your file after living together for a year and list yourself as common law and list your partner’s name in your asylum application before you received NOD?

 

[Lilolilo123]

Yes . As a family member not a person seeking asylym. I did put it in Family Member.

Doesn’t matter if your common law needs asylum or not they must be listed in your application if you are or become common law during the claim.

However, PR Application under refugee Q3 General Application form, asks how many people will I be applying for PR. In application form guide, it states only the family members who seeks protection be included. Does it means, I cant?

Ok so they can be included as part of your PR. What is their current status in Canada because it could be years before they get PR.

sorry don’t have access to the document. You aren’t a refugee though you are a protected person.

“For refugee claimants in Canada only:Enter the total number of family members included in your application for refugee protection who are with you in Canada.”

This is what it said
