Bisexual Woman Gains Refugee Protection

A woman and her children sought refugee protection on the basis of the women’s sexual identity. With very little documentation to corroborate her identity, it was left to our office to prepare our client for the emotional and difficult testimony of establishing her sexual orientation. She was ultimately successful, with the Board Member finding her to be a genuine refugee claimant. She and her children will be permitted to remain in Canada without fear of return to her country of origin.
