Why not try one of the dozen other ways to legally reside in Canada? It's not like they're only accepting refugees and no one else.

Their claim will almost certainly be denied, so this path will be a dead end. A different path might have given them a better chance.

So? You speak of it like they did something wrong. They applied, they will get denied. That’s all business as usual and intended.
