Canada introduced instruction for processing applications of the LGBT candidates
On October 5, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced the program instructions for applicants with a diverse sexual orientation or gender identity or expression (SOGIE). The new instructions are provided to ensure SOGIE applicants are processed without discrimination and receive the needed support throughout their processing and after arrival in Canada. Officers are instructed to conduct country-specific research on SOGIE discriminations in the home country of applicants as well as to handle interviews with extra sensitivity.
