Good Question. I'd like to know as well. Unless, he is from Punjab.

However, whether refugee or asylum seeker, as long as you do not have a criminal record, you should be fine with Canadian Immigration. You will also have to answer the questions truthfully when filling the necessary forms. That is very important and that is the reason why they ask that question anyway.

Rupeshhari & BobbyB,

I don't know about Indians from other part of country, but those from communally sensitive places provide reason of communal riots that often takes place in their city, especially those who are from Ahmedabad, Baroda, Mumbai. Most of them fabricate the story of threat to their life due to enmity with their Muslim or Hindu counterparts. However, they themselves know that their refugee protection urge will not be accepted by the the immigration department of respective countries, but they just would want to have sufficient time to work and make money before they are asked to leave that country.

If you would apply as a refugee without any large insurgency in the place where you come from, perhaps someone from Punjab would have more recourse to refugee status where there was actual insurgency even if it was long time ago. Think about that.

I am not sure why anyone would get approval for refugee status if there is no war. It makes sense for people from Kashmir, Swat valley, Sri Lanka, DRC, Somalia, etc because they have real wars. Also for political asylum applications from places like Iran (but not sure if this is refugee or asylum status).

hi to everyone,
Need some answers to my queries...
I also applied for a refugee visa in Australia in 1996 and got the decision in 1998 which I was not granted. I went back to my home country and applied for an immigrant visa in 1999 but i was also denied since i don't have enough working experience. In 2007, I again applied for a visitors/tourist visa which i was granted so i was able to back in Australia as a tourist. Presently, I'm working here in the middle east.

I'm planning to apply in Canada under FSW category , will my application be affected as I have applied before as a refugee and immigrant in Australia but was denied.

I'm also applying for my police certificate in Australia, will i let the AFP send the result of my NPC direct to the Canadian office in London where my papers will be process or i will let them send the report back to me and i will be the one to send it in London office with my other documents?

Thanks in advance. God Bless and Goodluck to all.
