Is the resettler a refugee?

The last ten years can often be heard from various sources about immigration. Let us consider in more detail what kind of phenomenon it is.

A resettler is a person who, due to certain circumstances, is forced to leave the place of permanent residence.

Reasons for resettlement

The circumstances for which a citizen mustmake a move, usually a few, but there can be only one. It is worth remembering that the status of a migrant is provided to a person only when applying to officially registered authorities and only when issuing the relevant documents. Living in the territory of another country without documents is illegal. So, the reasons for the resettlement:

Religious. In some countries or areas, a particular religion may be imposed, which, if disagreed, people may have problems - from non-acceptance by society, to imprisonment or loss of life.
Political. This is one of the most popular reasons. A vivid example in the modern world can be made by some countries. They are internally displaced people. Ukraine - one of the countries in which there is immigration of the population on political convictions.
Language. There are harassment of citizens due to language differences.
National. Often this reason is called "racial". This can happen because of differences in nationalities. This can be demonstrated especially vividly by the example of African Americans of the 19th and 20th centuries in America.

The difference between a refugee and a migrant

More details about this can be found in the legaldocuments. There are several. The UN Convention of 1951 is considered to be the main one. But, not to be confused, it is worth knowing that the most important difference between these two concepts in citizenship.

A refugee is a person who is not a citizencountry, in which he arrived due to various circumstances. A migrant is, on the contrary, an officially registered citizen of the country, and in some cases also a foreign person residing in this territory permanently, but under certain circumstances forced to move.

Assistance to the migrants

Every citizen who finds himself in such a difficultlife situation, it is worth remembering that it is possible to receive material assistance from the state, but only once. You can get it by justifying why it is necessary. A clear list of the points for which cash benefits are given is not, but it is worth remembering: a migrant is already a sufficiently weighty reason. This is due to the fact that a person in most cases is forced to change the habitual course of life - to quit work, house / apartment, social contacts and so on. But there are categories of citizens who are provided with material support quite often. We list them:

Large families.
Pensioners who have no relatives and are left alone.
Persons with disabilities or persons who need treatment.

However, assistance to immigrants can not be providedonly by state bodies. Quite often there are people who are not indifferent, ready to provide both material and moral support. The latter is an important factor when moving, especially forced.

Procedure for obtaining the status

Every person who finds himself in such aposition, the first thing to do is to obtain the necessary status in state bodies at the place of residence. For this purpose a certain set of documents is collected:

The first thing you need is a petition. The official form can be obtained from the migration service. Also, this document provides information confirming that the relocation was forced.
The next item is paper that confirms the person. You also need photos.
If there is an opportunity, then documents are provided that carry information about the marriage or its dissolution. Large families attach the appropriate paper.
It may be necessary to have documents that indicate at what time period the previous place of residence was abandoned.

All of the above should be provided strictly in the original, no copies.

Further, a response from government agencies is expectedissue of the relevant status. However, a refusal can come if there is a suspicion of an attempt by a person to flee the country where the crime was committed. The resettler is a person who has not committed any grievous deeds. In addition, deliberately false information will also be the reason for the refusal.
