How are you planning on entering Canada to claim asylum? Do you have a family member in Canada? The situation has changed.

Yes I do just my concern can I work after one month or I have to wait I don’t want social help

It usually takes over a month. Have you talked to an immigration lawyer to discuss if you have good grounds for asylum? If your case is refused it has worldwide long lasting implications.

A refused refugee application to one country (e.g. Canada) generally makes it much more difficult to obtain a temporary visa to other countries (e.g. US, UK, Australia, etc.). This is because the failed refugee claim demonstrates a lack of ties to the home country and an intent to find somewhere else to remain permanently. Basically means other countries are much less likely to grant you a visa because they may be worried you will try to stay there as well.

Affect you how? Certainly any of the 5 eye countries would be aware if you made another claim in one of those countries.

The fact that you did not know how a failed claim can affect your chances for visas to other countries as well indicates that you really need to speak to an immigration lawyer.
