Hi everyone...
I’m a Saudi women . I live in a very controlling religious Muslims family. Last year I became an ex Muslim ( after Ramadan) I became much happier even though I live in a very strict environment where I’m forced on doing religious practices that I don’t believe in . Recently my family started to notice that I don’t do some practices but I still deny their speculations because I don’t want to be in danger. From what I know, ex Muslim get execute or they lock them in a place to make them to love Islam again because they don’t want the family name to get “dirty “ I’m considering seeking an asylum here in a few days... please help me ! Thank you

You need to be in Canada or leave KSA for a third country and be recognized as a refugee to claim asylum. There is nothing that can be done while you are still in KSA.

I can’t apply for a visa . Do you think it’s a problem?

Yes - unfortunately that is a problem. You cannot seek asylum while you are in your home country.

If you wish to claim asylum in Canada, you would need to obtain a TRV (tourist visa), fly to Canada and then claim asylum once you arrive here.

Unfortunately there are no options for asylum without a visa.

You need to leave your country to try to claim asylum.

Can I be in another country and seek asylum in the Canadian embassy?
No - you cannot make an asylum claim at a Canadian embassy. You can only do this if you are in Canada.

However you can go to another country and then be officially recognized by UNHCR as a refugee. UNHCR will then decide which country you will be resettled in (you don't get to chose). There is a low chance this country will be Canada.

How can I be recognized by them ? Should I go to their place ?

Sorry - I don't know which countries. I expect their website would tell you.

Yes - you would get in touch with UNHCR once you are outside of your home country to be recognized as a refugee. Note that it typically takes a number of years for UNHCR to resettle a refugee and many are resettled to the country they are already in (meaning the country they traveled to in order to be recognized as a refugee by UNHCR).
