Despite Japan's reputation as a safe country, it is not safe for me as a transgender individual.

As a result, I am now planning to apply for refugee status in Canada. I have several queer friends who are also compelled to leave Japan to ensure their survival. I reached out to the Canadian Embassy, and they advised me to seek a referral to Canada through UNHCR or obtain assistance from a sponsor. Rainbow Refugee recommended relying on acquaintances and friends in Canada.
