Dear @Mir,

We generally only have information on questions related to Germany on this site. I have had a **** for resources in France that can help you. This site has a good overview of where you can get help and information:

https://***.infomigrants.net/en/post/30169/help-for-migrants-in-france-a-list-of-organizations

This site in particular seems quite useful:

https://watizat.org/en/

Here you can search for a lawyer (the directory is only in French):

I found this information about people with a refugee status in France who wish to relocate elsewhere:

You are a refugee: If you plan to settle in another country, after having been recognized as a refugee, you must find out from the foreign counterparts of the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA) about the conditions for admission to stay in this country and transfer of your protection. These conditions vary from country to country. This is often about getting a job or having family ties in the state you want to move to. If your file is accepted, your protection will now depend on the new State of residence.
You are a beneficiary of subsidiary protection: no text provides for the transfer of subsidiary protection. If you wish to settle in another country, we invite you to contact the foreign counterpart of the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA) in order to find out about the possible possibilities of recognizing your protection in this country.

However, as far as I know it would be quite difficult for someone with a refugee status in France to be resettled in Canada or the USA, unless they had close family members there. Resettlement usually involves persons who do not yet have a stable refugee status. Here, the Canadian government states this explicitly:

You are not eligible if:

  • you have another stable option for protection, such as an offer to be resettled in another country,
  • you become a citizen of another country, which will then protect you,
  • you choose to return to the country you left, or
  • the reasons you left your country no longer exist.

Here there is a detailed overview of the process of resettling to the USA:
