No American war resister has ever been awarded refugee status yet during the Vietnam war, thousands of Americans came north.
These two men should enjoy the full protection of the Canadian government. That means they should be allowed to remain in Canada as long as there is threat of the two men being sent to the war and or until it is safe for them to return to the United States.
