In a 29 May 2002 interview, the First Secretary, Consular Affairs, of the Embassy of the Republic of Peru in Ottawa, stated that an "immigrant identity card" can be roughly translated as a "carnet de extranjería." The bearer of such a card is a permanent resident and has all the rights and obligations that that status confers (ibid.). Please refer to PER38829.E of 31 May 2002 for information on the rights and obligations of a permanent resident of Peru.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
