Spanish term or phrase: en el trámite de refugio
Estoy traduciendo una carta de referencia de una persona quien va a solicitar refugio en Canadá.

"Durante su permanencia en la organización xxx ha demostrado ser una comprometida defensora de los DDHH y la Democracia en Venezuela, responsable en el ejercicio de las funciones inherentes al cargo que ocupa, a quien conozco de vista, trato y comunicación desde xxx, razón por la cual no dudo en recomendarla ampliamente y apoyarla **en el trámite de refugio** que solicitará en Canadá"

Por lo pronto he pensado en algo como "procedure of seeking/ claiming / refuge/ asylum / applying for refugee status". ¿Alguien me puede orientar en cuanto a la terminología habitural en estos casos? No estoy segura de que "refuge" y "asylum" sean lo mismo. Un millón de gracias

in the application process for refugee status
Explanation:
or "in applying for refugee status"

A glance at the Canadian government's website indicates this is different from asylum.

The Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program lets private groups sponsor eligible refugees abroad. As the private sponsor, you’ll support a refugee for the sponsorship period, usually up to 1 year.

"An asylum seeker is a person seeking protection from a country other than his or her own as a refugee but whose claim has not yet been adjudicated. Not every asylum-seeker will ultimately be recognized as a refugee, but every refugee is initially an asylum-seeker. "

neutral  Marcelo González: Compare that to the Canadian government's website, where a distiction is clearly being made, and one that should, in my opinion, be reflected in the translation. >Asylum and refugee status are not the same, are they?
55 mins
  -> My answer is correct - see above.
agree  Robert Carter: I agree, the first application upon entry is for asylum. In any case, it's not clear what the author means by "refugio", or whether they could even apply for that status.

Reference

Reference information:
An asylum seeker is someone who is seeking international protection but whose claim for refugee status has not yet been determined. In contrast, a refugee is someone who has been recognised under the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees to be a refugee.
