00:35The full version of this video update is available on our website. Link in the description below.
00:58In this video, we break down the proposed legislation to control immigration documents, streamline domestic information sharing and asylum claim, processing, outline new ineligibility criteria for asylum applicants, and looking ahead, what's next for Canada's immigration system?
01:19Watch till the end to understand how these changes could directly impact current and future applicants.
01:27Let's begin with, what is the proposed legislation?
01:40The Strong Borders Act, introduced by Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangari, proposes four key reforms.
01:47These aim to reduce backlogs, stop misuse, and maintain public trust, without compromising humanitarian obligations.
01:57Then we move to controlling immigration documents.
02:01Authorities will gain powers to cancel or suspend visas and permits in the public interest, whether it's to manage emergencies, stop fraud, or protect public safety.
02:12This flexibility helps Canada stay prepared and fair.
02:18Up next is streamlining domestic information sharing.
02:23The new framework allows IRCC to share data directly with provinces and other agencies.
02:29Strong privacy protections remain in place, but this shift will improve service delivery and fight fraud more effectively.
02:36Followed by streamlining asylum claim processing.
02:39Canada aims to fast-track genuine asylum claims and clear inactive ones.
02:44With a more consistent online process and quicker IRB referrals, claimants will get faster outcomes and support where needed.
02:56Then we'll cover new asylum claims ineligibilities.
03:00To discourage misuse, claims filed over a year after arrival or 14 plus days after irregular entry will no longer go to the IRB.
03:11However, PRRA remains available for those at risk, ensuring fairness is preserved.
03:17And finally, we explore, looking ahead, what's next for Canada's immigration system.
03:27Once passed, the reforms will apply to claims from June 3rd, 2025.
03:34The government will work with stakeholders to ensure successful rollout, reinforcing Canada's reputation as a compassionate yet secure destination.
03:44Before we end, let's do the conclusion.
03:49Canada's Strong Borders Act promises a more efficient, fair and future-ready immigration system.
03:55Whether you're a newcomer or a citizen, staying informed is key to building a stronger, united Canada.
