Seeking Protection and Safety in Canada

Canada is internationally recognized for its commitment to protecting individuals fleeing persecution, war, or danger in their home countries. If you fear for your life, safety, or freedom due to race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group, you may be eligible to make a Refugee Claim under Canadian law.

At Sunder Law, we guide individuals through this complex and emotional process, ensuring every claim is supported by compelling evidence, strong legal reasoning, and a clear understanding of the refugee determination system.
