• “Refugees” from Romania? How does one claim refugee status from a country that’s a member of the European Union and member of NATO with a stable government?

    They’re ethnic gypsies not Romanian, so they claim refugee status because they can state they’re oppressed minority in Romania.

    Edit: it’s not just Romania either, plenty of them come from countries like Bulgaria or Hungary as well.

    Source: My neighbours were Romany gypsies from Hungary, they also came here as refugees.

    They’re ethnic gypsies not Romanian, so they claim refugee status because they can state they’re oppressed minority in Romania.

    Except they make a complete joke of refugee law when they come here in particular.

    EU citizens have mobility and work rights within the EU. So if you're an EU citizen and are being persecuted locally, you should be fleeing to a safe haven where you already have the right to be, rather than ranking faraway countries by how safe/wealthy/gullible they are and choosing the biggest sucker.

    I mean you’re right, but I don’t make the laws my guy. Someone far dumber than either of us did, and a bunch of people even dumber than that voted for them. So here we are.

    The thing is gypsies are persecuted against in almost all of europe it's not just a local romanian problem but it is most problematic there partially because there are a lot of gypsies in that country.

    They aren’t persecuted. They are prosecuted. And they don’t like that.

    They’re persecuted in Romania because they’re expected to learn fluent Romanian, work, pay taxes, and follow laws.

    So can any non-white person from the US claim refugee status, since they are routinely being disappeared by the American Gestapo?

    No, because those people entered the USA illegally and got arrested for doing so. If they somehow cross the border into Canada then I guess they can try and claim refugee status here and provide proof of why they can’t just go back to their own country, but they should have done so in the USA when they had the chance.

    The asylum system has been abused horribly to an absurd and comical degree. I'm at the point where I think the vast bulk of them are fraudulent unless proven otherwise.

    The whole system is suspect, since status doesn't get granted to the people who deserve it most, per se: it gets granted to whomever tells most convincing tale.

    This means that people with authentic sob stories probably get through. And so do an unknown but likely horrifying number of sociopaths able to fake a real corker of a sob story.

    You would be naive to think otherwise

    The new trick is just claiming you are LGBT. 

    Its Romania saying theyre Bi is enough.

    You can dispute your asylum claim in court for 5 years, if youre denied and ordered deported, get a year extension, then dispute the court another 5 years if your PR application is denied.

    A bisexual man in Canada has been granted one-year temporary residency just a day before his scheduled deportation to Kenya — an outcome his supporters call "a victory for migrant and queer justice."

    It was a near-miss for the 48-year-old who had exhausted nearly all his options to stay in Canada since he arrived in 2019 on a visitor visa and applied for asylum.

    A copy of the UN application says his refugee claim was denied because the adjudicator did not find Mwangi, who is married and has two children, to be a credible bisexual man despite his sworn testimony, the testimony of a man he was said to be dating in Toronto and his activism with local LGBTQ organizations.

    Man my buddy works for CBSA. He gets dudes showing up with their wife and kids behind them claiming they are refugees "because of their sexuality" but they will refuse to say what exactly. Like he'll say "oh are you gay or homosexual?" and they freak out.

    Csreful youre flirting wirh hate crimes now with that language. Im not vilifying any group, im highlighting a news article and discussing legal processes. The government might get a majority and wont be forced to back down on its c-63 variants again.

    If someone complains your comment is harrasment motivated by hate, you could be face a sentence of life in prison and/or owe the offended party 20k and the government 50k for that.

    For the downvoters

    Under Section 53.1 (2)(c), the Tribunal is authorized to order a respondent to pay a victim (complainant) up to $20,000 for "pain and suffering" caused by the communication of hate speech.
    ​ Under Section 53.1 (3), the Tribunal can further order the respondent to pay a penalty to the federal government of up to $50,000 if the Tribunal determines it is "appropriate" to do so

    ​The New Offence: This section creates a new, separate "hate crime" offence. It applies if an individual commits any existing offence under the Criminal Code (or any other Act of Parliament) and that offence is motivated by hatred based on factors like race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.

    ​The Penalty: If the underlying offence is an indictable offence, the proposed section allows for a maximum punishment of imprisonment for life.

    Claiming to have non public information from a government source implying fraud could be interpreted as misinformation meant to vilify and incite hatred... They've been trying to give themself that power...

    Now that news has spread of their success Canada will receive thousands more Roma as refugees. Come steal for years with impunity, live in rent free housing and receive free food all while spitting in Canada's face and laughing.

    Its too bad they cant find another country that will take then in as refugees now. We are the biggest suckers in the world

    Claim could have been that they are a persecuted group there i.e. Romani people

    Bro what literally 15 of the 18 are the most Romanian names ever

  • Am I wrong or Romania is part of the Schengen area, so Romanians can freely move to 26 countries whenever they want. why are we accepting these people as “refugees”?

    You can ask the same question about many group Canada routinely accepts, but you are right, this is probably the most perplexing case.

    Not ethnically Romanian.

    Citizens of Romania can move anywhere in Europe. It doesn't matter what ethnicity they are.

    No but they are citizens and have the same movement rights

  • Last year, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada accepted 71% of the 203 cases of Romanian asylum seekers (presumed to be mostly Roma)

  • Same people behind the pickpocketing plague in Europe that will soon be making its way into our country.

    Cops do their job and our out of date and myopic judiciary let them walk. It’s a shame really.

    Soon? They are in Canada for at least 20 or 30 years

  • “Romanians”

  • I think they do dress up as Muslims and begs on street corners. I assume they are the same.

  • I dont understand why Canada cant be restrictive on Visas like USA? US doesn’t give visa free to whole EU, we can be like that too.

  • man seems disrespectful to romania. maybe we should state what ethnic group they are as a fact.

    Romani peoples who are often referred to as gypsies are more Romanian, than most Canadians claiming to br Canadian. Considering they have been there since the 9th century, and migrated to other parts of Europe over the course of millenia.

    Roma / Romani and Romania are two unrelated words in two unrelated languages, Roma is indian, Romania - Latin. Romani and Romanian are not related genetically, not related linguistically and just happen to live in the same country (Roma live all over Europe).
