Subsidiary protection
The CGRS grants you subsidiary protection if you are at real risk of serious harm if you return to your country of origin and you cannot count on the protection of that country.
A person who has received subsidiary protection is given a residence permit for a limited period of 1 year. This can then be extended twice for 2 years. You receive permanent residence after 5 years, provided that the CGRS has not revoked your status during this period.
