Abstract
This paper discusses humanitarian, racial, economic and ideological factors affecting Canada's refugee policy. The historical background is briefly summarized, followed by documentation of the humanitarian bases of refugee acceptances. The third section discusses the internal refugee procedure, focussing on relations between refugees and immigration, security, and government officials, and on possible ideological biases in the Immigration Appeal Board. The last section discusses possible biases in government policy on refugee admissions, concluding that although there is no racial bias, there is an ideological bias against overtly socialist or communist refugees, and that the policy of considering refugees as immigrants precludes genuine political asylum.
