Protected Person
A Protected Person refers to an individual who is recognized by the Canadian government as needing protection due to a well-founded fear of persecution, risk of torture, or risk to their life or safety in their home country. Protected Persons can include refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals in need of humanitarian protection. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) and IRCC decides who is a protected person
