I am a victim of Human Rights Violation, How can I seek asylum in Canada

[joksuela]

As I mentioned before, I am aware of the immigration laws of UAE. Being born and raised there doesn't grant you citizenship or permanent residence. Your point of extradition isn't valid. Why don't you move to another country that doesn't require a visa and register with UNHCR as a refugee? You can share your voice there without fearing of extradition. Doubt they would accept your claim. You don't even have any evidence of arrest or torture.

There have been several cases were people were indeed extradited back as they had pending cases against them or things of that sort and so it is very much possible. They could even present the papers that I was forced to sign and God knows what they were.

Thanks for your input anyways.

You have two options for claiming asylum in Canada. One is to come to Canada on a TRV (tourist visa) and claim asylum once you arrive. As others have said, your chances of successfully obtaining a TRV are likely close to nil due to the UAE deportation and lack of ties to your home country (i.e. the country where you hold a passport). Having said that, you can certainly try. You will need to show proof of ties such as employment, property, assets. You'll also need to show that you have sufficient funds to pay for your trip to Canada. Lastly, you'll need to make sure you declare the UAE deportation in the application (otherwise Canada will make a finding of misrepresentation and ban you from Canada for 5 years).

The second option for claiming refugee status is to move out of your home country to another country (e.g. neighbouring country where you have ease of travel). Once you have moved to that other country, you would have to be officially recognized as a refugee by UNHCR. UNHCR would then determine where you are resettled - some small chance it might be Canada but a much higher chance it would be another country. You don't get to chose - UNHCR would chose for you.

These are your two options for the refugee route. No point talking to Amnesty International - they can't help you in this regard.

Most refugees aren't resettled so you'd have to anticipate remaining in the country where you claimed asylum. Unfortunately the preferential treatment the Saudi girl got is likely not going to be repeated any time soon.

The country that I am in currently does not pose any risk until I speak about the violation. And I am not going to do so knowing the immediate risk that follows it. I am not going to create a problem for myself and my family and then run around the country looking for a safe spot. I could even get assassinated by hit men if I appear publicly after I disclose the details. Remember Jamal Kashoogi?

I was told at the secret prison in UAE that I am not allowed to speak about anything that happened with me in all these months, whatever I heard, saw or even describe the cells and the living conditions or how the interrogators treated me etc.

I have a place in the country I am living in now but only recently I came back to my sense and decided this injustice should not go unreported. I lost everything that I built for myself and my family in UAE and I was not going to stay silent about it just because some officer told me before deporting me while I was blindfolded.

How can I find that I am eligible for Asylum?

1. There was a practically zero chance that you would be granted citizenship. Your birth in the UAE does not confer UAE citizenship. And, citizenship by naturalization is very limited/possible only under exceptional conditions.

2. You have not mentioned why you were put in the secret prison. Nor have you told us why were you deported after spending your entire life in the UAE. Did you violate any immigration rule? Did you commit a crime? Did you change your religion?

3. Your ability to stay in your country of origin + you have the passport for the country you now live in + there is no fear to your life in your country of origin would make it impossible (or at least difficult) to prove your life is in danger and you need protection from Canada.

4. If you believe you need justice and/or you have a case against the UAE government then you must get legal counsel to file your case in The Hague/International Court of Justice. Asylum is not the solution

An extradition treaty does not in itself mean you will end up extradited back to UAE. Claiming asylum is not a means to escape legally valid prosecution. If there are serious criminal charges pending, they will be found during a background check and your claim will be denied and you will be deported.
Chances for a TRV are nonexistent with your deportation and current ties to your home country. Being unable to support yourself will also be a determining factor in a TRV denial. IRCC will immediately suspect your plan is to claim asylum once you are here.
Your plan to expose the human rights issues in the UAE really doesn’t expose anything that isn’t already know. HRW and AI have document these abuses and, along with the UN, report on these regularly.

Really, you should just look at immigration. It’s faster and, if you have the skills, your chances are significantly better.
