- a refugee;
- a person who has applied for permanent resident status from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and has obtained it;
- a person who has either received approval-in-principle to stay in Canada from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada or a selection certificate from the Québec government; or
- a person who previously lived in another province or territory in Canada.
