If you're not desperate to stay then you aren't a refugee, imo. Someone fleeing sectarian violence in South Sudan where their children are getting enslaved isn't going to be worried that "maybe I won't be able to get a tourist visa to the US later if this fails". They're fleeing for their lives.
Someone who is from the middle class in Asia and is fleeing a lifetime of lower wages than they could earn in Canada is going to consider that, which is fine because that person isn't a real refugee.
