flag Canada grants government powers to restrict asylum claims and refugee protections under new immigration law.

flag Canada’s new immigration law, Bill C-12, has received royal assent and grants the government broad powers to cancel asylum claims, suspend immigration documents, and restrict refugee protections. flag The legislation, which took effect Thursday, bars individuals who arrived more than a year ago from making claims and eliminates oral hearings for asylum seekers, replacing them with written risk assessments. flag Human rights groups have strongly criticized the law, warning it could expose thousands to persecution and violates international obligations.
