Basically all written in the title. Does anyone know if Canada is actually accepting us as refugees from the US yet, or no? Any information is appreciated, thank you!

    Bottom of the On This Page section:

    The Agreement does not apply to US citizens

      Why would Canada call the US a safe country for people seeking refugee status and also accept refugees from the US?

        Because they’re all different circumstances. If you’re fleeing from the government in your previous country, then the US is considered safe and we won’t let you in. If you’re fleeing from the US government, then the US might not be considered safe and you’d be allowed in.

        There are currently several people claiming refugee status from the US that are under consideration. If the rule was a blanket “no” they would’ve been denied immediately.

          Look at Canada! All that rational thought and measured responses.

          I’m more than a little jealous.
