I may be wrong but I don´t think you would be sent back right away. I believe you would arrive in the airport, you wouldn´t have a visa to visit canada, and at that time you would have to claim refugee status. That process could take up two years, maybe even longer. You would probably be detained for a period of time. I think eventually they are going to want to know who you really are, and you are going to have to get your true papers etc.

thanx (in reply to: refugee status)
I intend to carry my papers with all my documents id,passport ,drivers license just that i cant use my own passport coz ill be honest these guys are using a lot of government resources to hurt people am not sure how far they would go just to find me ,also scared for my family ive got a fianc?e that pregnant and initially plans were to travel with her and not come back for her since the process might take up to two yes am just trying to get as much info as I can ,

So I and my fianc?e can use passports that are not in our names and then produce sufficient identification on arrival in Canada or I don?t know how you think i should go bout this?
