REFUGEES

A subset of immigration and citizenship law, the law of refugees refers to the application for

residency in Canada by persons from other countries who face persecution or danger were

they to return to the countries from which they came. This is entirely within the federal sphere

of activity and is governed by the federal Immigration & Refugee Protection Act. Related topic:

IMMIGRATION & CITIZENSHIP.

RÉFUGIÉS

La question des réfugiés relève du droit INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC en raison surtout de l’exis-

tence de conventions internationales. Il importe de ne pas confondre avec le domaine plus

vaste de l’IMMIGRATION. Le réfugié peut devenir immigrant, certes, mais l’immigrant n’est

pas nécessairement un réfugié.
