Canada provides refugee status to individuals in need of protection and to those who meet the definition of a convention refugee, as outlined in the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. Specifically, a convention refugee is a person who fears persecution in his or her home country because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.
