The data, updated to August 21, shows that out of 3,548 claims filed by Nigerian nationals this year, 2,292 were approved, resulting in an acceptance rate of approximately 65%.

This is a notable increase from previous years, during which a total of over 13,000 applications from Nigerians were cumulatively rejected.

According to an analysis by Canadian immigration practice Maple Crest Law, Nigeria is one of the top sources of asylum seekers, alongside Mexico, India, Haiti, and Colombia.

The increase in applications is reportedly driven by ongoing violence from Boko Haram and economic instability within Nigeria.

The 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees defines refugees as persons who have a substantiated fear of persecution because of their race, nationality, religion, political ideology or membership in a particular social group.

Such social groups can include sexual orientation, gender identity, being a woman and persons living with HIV/AIDS.

However, persons asking for protection in Canada must show evidence portending danger of torture, risk to their life or risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment should they return to their country of nationality.

Typically, such protection claims are made when immigrants notify the Border Services Agency at any port of entry upon arriving in Canada or report to an immigration officer.

“The officer decides whether the claim is eligible to be referred to the IRB.

“If the claim is eligible, it is sent to the RPD to start the claim for refugee protection process,” an application guideline by the Refugee Board reads.

Historical data shows that between 2013 and 2024, the IRB rejected 13,171 applications from Nigerians while accepting 10,580. The year with the highest number of rejections for Nigerian applicants was 2019, with 3,951 claims turned down.

Despite the rejections, Nigeria ranked among the top 10 countries with the most accepted claims in 2024, placing eighth on the list.

Imaobong Ladipo-Sanusi is the Executive Director of the Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation.

In an interview, she said irregular migration motivated by economic hardship is often the leading cause of rejections.

“Most times, many Nigerians miss it when they don’t understand the laws governing refugee status as adopted in their chosen destination. Every country has its regulations for absorbing people into its system.

“For one, documentation is crucial because coming irregularly will get you rejected from their system. But ultimately, everybody’s rights must be protected.

“Migration must be safe, orderly and regular. Even if their status is irregular, those who really need protection should be protected,” Ladipo-Sanusi told Sunday PUNCH.
