Canada Program – Canada Global Refugee Stream for Human Rights Defenders

The Canadian government (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, IRCC) has established a dedicated refugee stream for human rights defenders at risk who, due to intense persecution, are looking for a permanent resettlement option in Canada. The number of places available to human rights defenders at risk are limited, with Front Line Defenders invited to refer up to 125 cases to the IRCC per calendar year, including family members (I.e. approximately 35 human rights defenders, plus family members, per calendar year). Applicants must meet specific criteria in order to be eligible to apply.
