🟥BILL C-12 IS NOW A LAW 🟥

Canada has officially passed Bill C-12 – the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, introducing major changes to asylum and immigration processing.

🚫 Stricter asylum eligibility rules:
Individuals may become ineligible for refugee claims in certain situations
Includes cases where claims are made too long after entering Canada

⏳ New timelines for refugee claims:
A one-year limit may apply for making asylum claims after entry

⚖️ Shift away from full hearings in some cases:
Some claimants may no longer get a full hearing at the Immigration and Refugee Board. Instead, cases may be assessed through a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)

🛑 Expanded government powers:
Authorities can pause, cancel, or modify immigration applications and documents

🔐 Increased information sharing & border control:
Enhanced coordination between government agencies. Focus on security, fraud prevention, and system integrity

💡 Why This Matters

✔️ Faster processing and tighter system control
✔️ Reduced misuse of the asylum system
✔️ Significant impact on refugee claim strategies and timelines

⚠️ At the same time, these changes may limit access to full hearings for some applicants.

📌 Key Takeaway
If you are considering an asylum claim in Canada, timing and strategy are now critical.
