minus-squareArcanepotato@crazypeople.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·4 days agoI think there is a gross overestimation of the support that is available. I’ve seen a lot of bad articles copying and pasting different parts of immigration policy and programs but without understanding how it works as a whole. Like, Canada has a website about helping LGBTQI+ refugees ( https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/about-refugee-system/2slgbtqi-plus.html ) and it includes partnerships with groups like Rainbow Railroad who can refer people in need of resettlement to the refugee process. But if you only look at that and fail to consider the safe third country agreement, you’re giving false hope.
