Please give me some information, a friend of mine lives in Afghanistan and working for US forces he is in great Risk of life, he want to escape the country! He asked me the following questions but I could not answer them. Is there any one to help him? Here are the questions:
1. What is the difference between refugees who flee prosecution and arrive with no documents and those refugees who hold a visa with themselves?
2. What should a refugee do to claim asylum? Is it better to claim asylum at the airport immediately after arrival or they should enter Canada and go to a CIC office inside Canada?
3. Is there a possibility if CBSA deport an eligible refugee if he arrived with no document? How if he arrived with a visa?
Please Help him decide!

1. Refugees can be selected overseas, and are issued a Copr (confirmation of Permanent Residence) their applications are processed overseas. They have to approach the UNHRC and be found to be refugees before they can apply to Canada for refugee status. Those that arrive at a Port of Entry and claim refugee status, their claims are processed in Canada. If they are found not to be refugees by the Immigration Refugee Board, they are removed from Canada.
2. Contact the UNCHR. Won't be able to get on a plane to Canada without a visa if he is an Afghan citizen. So without a visa he won't be able to reach a Canadian Port of entry.
