New Immigration Law in Canada: what you should know

Canada has introduced a new immigration reform law that may affect how some refugee claims are handled. The changes include stricter timelines for submitting claims after arrival, which could impact whether a case is fully reviewed. While intended to improve processing times, some experts have raised concerns about access to protection.

If you’re navigating Canada’s immigration system, there’s an update you should know about: a new immigration reform law has been passed.

Canada has introduced changes that could affect how some refugee claims are handled. For individuals seeking protection, the refugee system is an important pathway to safety and stability.

Under the new law, there are stricter timelines for submitting a refugee claim after arriving in Canada. In some cases, missing these timelines could impact whether a claim is fully reviewed. While the government says these changes are meant to improve processing times, some experts and advocates are concerned about how they may affect access to protection for certain individuals.

If you or someone you know may need to apply for refugee protection, it may be helpful to understand these changes and what they could mean.
