Canada
Urgent Warning!: As of February, 10 2025 there are likely no viable routes to gain Refugee/Asylum status for current U.S. Citizens. If you attempt to make a refugee/ asylum claim at the border and you don't qualify for any of these exceptions to the satisfaction of a border official, you will lose your ability to make a claim PERMANENTLY. Please, consult an immigration lawyer before making an asylum claim, there is a high bar for documentation required to make these claims and it should not be considered a viable option in most cases. Much of the sections in the Refugee/Asylum, Visa, and other sections have not yet been filled. We are working diligently to update all sections with viable, accurate, and citable information that you can trust. We understand the gravity and dangers in attempting to immigrate with incorrect information and we will continue to fill in with all current, and up to date information with that in mind
