A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee their country because of persecution or oppression. An immigrant on the other hand is someone who is permanently settled in another country and voluntarily chooses to move to Canada – the immigrant is not fleeing but rather making their own choice to improve their quality of life by moving to Canada.
