15 year old from oman, requesting asylum.

[Mutant]

This is not me but for someone else. There is a fifteen year old girl in oman, who is looking to leave her country and claim asylum in canada. She is phsyically abused at home all of which is documented. There is also the cavet that if she leaves oman, she would likely be killed if she ever returned. With all this information would this be enough to claim asylum if she left due to a very valid threat of her being killed upon being returned to the country?

Yes as long as she has some proof. How is she claiming asylum?

Leaving Oman both as a minor and a young woman can be very difficult. Does she already have a TRV? Getting a TRV and a TRV without her family knowing would be very difficult. Getting to Canada is typically the biggest challenge. Claiming asylum as a minor also comes with other challenges like being putting into the foster care system.

To answer your question, yes the information you provided should be enough when supported with evidence, for her asylum claim in Canada.

@canuck78 is right to note that you should consider that the minor girl will be subject to Canada's foster care system if she does not have a legal guardian or parent to care for her in Canada.

She should get a tourist visa if possible, make her way to Canada then apply for asylum when she is in Canada- based on her situation and gather all the supporting evidence before arrival.

There are immigration lawyers in Canada that may be able to advise her and you more specifically via email, it may be worth talking to one.

Good luck!

Not familiar enough with the welfare system in Oman but she would have to show that the police would not intervene and that she could not move in with another family member or friend or to a foster care like system that would provide her protection from the people abusing her. If she had proof that her family was planning on arranging her marriage against her will soon that would also help.

Why Canada? Why not any other country, Germany, France, any Muslim country?

Being from the region, I would say that Oman's laws offer little to no protection to minors and women under the guise of vague language, and the legal framework of the country would provide sufficient country evidence that the girl is at risk.

this is a really strange question to ask.

Unlikely they will approve Tourist visa for Minor, traveling by herself as a tourist...

No it is not. Why does every Tom, Dick and Harry think she or he has to come to Canada? There are dozens of other places in the world to go to.

 

[Copingwithlife]

this is a really strange question to ask.

No, it’s not . There’s a multitude of other countries on this rock floating in space we call earth . And people continuously fixate on Canada to claim asylum in , even when there’s safer countries closer to them .

So it’s not a strange question to ask, what so ever. It is strange though that you think it’s a strange question to ask.

People dont fixate on Canada, they weigh their options and explore possibilities and make decisions based on that. Im guessing most folks in this forum did, thats why they are in Canada. Why would OP not do the same thing?

Also Canada literally spends millions of dollars every year to ensure the world is convinced they are top 3 countries in the world to immigrate to, so it would be weird to not consider Canada.

Most of all it is interesting to me that the significance of Canada as a refuge only seems to be named when folks from a specific region or background are considering moving here.

There may be some charitable organizations that provide help.

Getting a tourist visa anywhere as a minor woman without parental permission or proof of funds from parents will be extremely difficult if not impossible. Getting a visa to come to Canada can be much more difficult than other countries so she should keep her options open if safety is the only thing that matters.
