Help Me . I Am Syrian And Ask For Asylum

How do I ask for asylum in Canada?

The vast majority of cases will involve someone arriving in the United States or Canada and then requesting asylum once there. This will initiate a long process to determine whether someone has a legitimate claim for asylum based on the criteria laid out in the 1951 refugee convention. There are appeals built into the process but those found to not have a legitimate claim will be deported.

Can I ask for asylum just because my country is officially at war with an other country?

You can ask for asylum for any reason you like. You can ask for asylum because the Steelers lost to the Seahawks last Thursday. The question is, will a State party to the Refugee Convention grant you that asylum? And the answer is no.Asylum requires that you have a well-founded fear of persecution in your home country for your race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion. The fact that your home country is at war with another country does not prove any of these facts. If your home country is losing and the winner is rampaging through its territory, torturing and robbing everyone of your nationality, that would give you a well-founded fear of persecution. But your home country just being at war is not enough to show a well-founded fear of that happening.In your comment you mention that you are a pacifist. That would raise the question of whether your own government will persecute you in wartime for being a pacifist, which would be a political opinion and possibly also give you a right to asylum. If you can show that your home country would jail you just for being a pacifist, or even just for voicing your pacifist opinions and being against the war, I’m pretty sure that would be enough to show a well-founded fear of persecution and get you asylum. But what if your country would allow you to speak your mind, but would still draft you (along with everyone else) into the army and force you to serve in the war? That’s a harder question. In America, and I think several other Western countries, pacifists and other “conscientious objectors” can legally be forced into the military (although America hasn’t done that for for over forty years), but in consideration of their beliefs they can demand noncombat roles where they will not have to kill anyone themselves. I thus doubt that America would grant asylum to you if your own country had a similar policy; I’m not sure if other countries would see it the same way. And if your country forced you to serve in a combat role and imprisoned you for refusing to fight, I’m still not sure if that would be considered persecution on grounds of political opinion, even though it would be against the practices of several advanced Western countries. Just because we make allowances for pacifists’ consciences doesn’t necessarily mean that international law requires everybody else to do so.
