My sponsor says they will guarantee that the Canadian government will accept my refugee application. Is that true?
No one can guarantee that we will accept your application. Not your sponsor, nor anyone you hire to help, such as a consultant. Only a Canadian visa officer can make that decision.
There are also other requirements, such as medical and security checks, that you must meet before we can approve your application.
