I was born in 1986 in Jordan, Zarqa, My Father came from Palestine/Gaza to Jordan with my mother in 1968.

Neither my dad nor me had a Palestinian ID, For this reason, Jordanian authorities allowed us to have a TEMPORARY JORDANIAN PASSPORT which serves only as a travel document with "several legal restrictions that limit our rights".



My case and situation already documented at the "Immigration and Refugee Board Of Canada"

Where my status applies to "Jordanian Passports Issued to Stateless Palestinians", 3rd point about Gazans people.

Needed Assistance:

1 -Applying to Canada Express Entry as a Skilled worker

I hold a bachelor of computer engineering, graduated in 2008. Whole of my experience are at my study fields. I passed and cleared IELTS exam recently.

At my application that I submit, What shall I list my nationality?

  • Am I considered as stateless?
  • Am I considered as Palestinian?
  • Am I considered as Jordanian?
>> Why am asking and why to raise this confusion?

Because at all previously mentioned documents refers my case as STATELESS PALESTENIAN.

Whilst my birth of certificate sets my nationality as Palestinian, similarly the bachelor degree does.

However, I hold a TEMPORARY JORDANIAN PASSPORT.



2 - Can I Immigrate to Canada as a Refugee?

If am stateless, can I do so? Will the Canadian authorities consider my case?
