Canada and some European countries have accepted refugees from the US but from what I've read it's incredibly rare and requires and extraordinary amount of proof that your life is under threat and you have no other choice than to move to those countries.
I'd imagine that's because of the STCA, but there seems to be a loophole where it doesn't apply if you enter via water and don't claim refugee status before 14 days.
If I were really determined, I'd at least ask an immigration lawyer about it, and then I'd plan on taking a 2 week camping trip in Canada when I thought shit was likely to go down.
Occasionally, I watch some queer videos on YT, just to see how they see the world from their perspective. Recently, the tone has shifted and some are even advising other people to go back into the closet. Especially gender minorities appear to be afraid of what’s going on these days. Maybe someone in that category could convincingly claim that their life is in danger. I wonder if it also applies to gay people.
Gay and transgender people are the only cases I've heard of people being accepted as refugees from the United States in Canada
It’s actually happening then. Reading 1930s history keeps on getting more and more relevant each day.
Those are some pretty interesting conditions. Sounds like in order to make this work, you shouldn’t enter through an official land border crossing. Instead, you should enter through other means (plane, ship, rocket), but you should also just chill out as a tourist for two weeks before making a refugee claim. Makes me wonder what’s the rationale behind this.
Yeah, I don't quite get it myself. The only thing I can think of is that it might be designed for American citizens living abroad, but I can't quite figure out why there either.
Maybe it's just being onerous enough to discourage all but the most serious attempts.
