Can someone explain how someone from Eygpt can claim refugee status in Canada?

I could see certain circumstances where political asylum might be claimed, say if one holds dissident views against the government. The Egyptian government remains quite harsh against critics and opposition.

Not necessarily this case, but one example is if an Egyptian is LGBTQ.

Show opposition to the Egyptian government is going to fall under 2 camps - Muslim Brotherhood on one side or ultra liberal full democracy supporter on the other side.
No way Canada, even under this current Federal Government, will let a Muslim Brotherhood supporter claim Refugee/Political Asylum. Kind of hard to believe that this guy was able to pull off ultra Liberal Democracy supporter and opposition to the Egyptian government.

Question, do we know where, which country, this individual made his claim from?

Shrug dunno. I was just answering, narrowly, the specific question you posed.
