Humanitarian program for Afghan nationals in need of resettlement: Who is eligible
Eligibility
To be eligible for this program you must meet all of the following requirements:
- you’re an Afghan national
- you’re outside of Afghanistan
- you don’t have a durable solution in a third country and
- you’re part of one of the following groups:
- women leaders
- human rights defenders
- persecuted religious or ethnic minorities
- LGBTI individuals
- journalists and those who helped Canadian journalists
If you’re in Afghanistan and plan to leave
The Government of Canada remains firm in its commitment to welcome vulnerable Afghans to Canada.
If you plan to leave Afghanistan, you must check and follow the travel requirements of the country you plan to enter or travel through. Along with your passport, you may need to get a visa to legally enter another country.
It’s important to follow the immigration laws of countries you plan to enter. If you don’t, you could
- be detained
- be unable to leave the country or
- get deported back to Afghanistan
This can make it harder to get help to travel to Canada or any other country in which you plan to resettle.
اگر قصد خروج از افغانستان را دارید، لطفاً خود را از شرایط سفر به کشوری هایکه قصد دارید وارد آن شوید یا از ان کشور ها بگزرید باخبر بسازید. برعلاوه از پاسپورت، شما نیاز به اخذ ویزه دارید تا بشکل قانونی وارد یک کشور دیگر شوید.
مهم است تا از قوانین مهاجرت کشورهای که پلان دارید وارد آن شود باخبر باشید و پیروی کنید. در غیر ان، ممکن است:
- توقیف شوید،
- نخواهد توانست تا ان کشور را ترک کنید یا
- دوباره به افغانستان شما را روان خواهد کردند.
چنین یک اتفاق می تواند در قسمت دریافت کمک برای سفر به کانادا یا هر کشور دیگری را که قصد زندگی را در آن را دارید، مشکلتر میسازد.
که چېرته تاسو پلان لرئ چې له افغانستان څخه ووځئ، باید هغه هېواد ته د سفر شرایط وګورئ او وڅارئ چې غواړئ ور ننوځئ او یا سفر وکړئ. تاسو باید له خپل پاسپورټ سره ویزه ترلاسه کړئ تر څو په قانوني بڼه بل هېواد ته ننوځئ.
دا مهمه ده چې تاسو د هغو هېوادونو د کډوالۍ قوانین وڅارئ چې غواړئ ور شئ. که تاسو دا کار ونکړئ نو:
- رد به شئ،
- و به نکړای شئ چې هېواد پرېږدئ
- یا بېرته افغانستان ته ستانه شئ.
دا کولای شي کاناډا یا بل هغه هېواد ته ستاسو رسېدل سخت کړي چې غواړ هلته مېشت شئ.
