An American citizen convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill who said he was seeking asylum in Canada has been arrested as a "fugitive from U.S. justice," according to authorities.
Antony Vo spoke to CTV News last week about his plans to apply for refugee status, saying he was fleeing persecution by the Biden administration. |
This Vo dude is gonna wait a long time just for the processing of his refugee application with Immigration, refugees, and citizenship Canada (IRCC).
He's on the bottom of a priority list of applications from what I gather from people who I know used to work at IRCC.
Top priority is people who want to apply for citizenship, when they face a high risk of death in their country of residence.
Example: Ukrainians applying for refugee status.
Temporary measures are available to Ukrainians and their family members under the Canada–Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET). Depending on your situation, you may be able to apply for an open work permit or a study permit, or to extend your temporary status in Canada under temporary measures.
Then people who want to apply for citizenship from other countries are second priority.
Then you include foreigners who want to apply for a work permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
Next, you have the multiple applications of foreign students who are applying for study permits for the first time, or applying for study permit extensions.
I know of an SFU student who needs to wait for 134 days for his study permit extension. Current processing time is 134 days.
Refugees from America? No go for Mr. Vo. He's gonna wait a long time to hear back from Immigration haha. I hope that IRCC rejects his application when they finally get to reviewing his file haha.
