Write your MP ASAP. This bill is unacceptable, unconstitutional, and unCanadian.

    Well, whether or not your asylum application gets processed and approved is at the whim of the government, not the applicant. From what I understand, the process is slow and rigidly bureacratic and can take more than a year to complete even if they don’t make you start over because you missed a ticky-box on some form or other.

    I admit I haven’t read the bill and it’s possible it gives some leeway for claims in process . . . but I would bet not.

      78 (1) Subsection 101(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is amended by adding the following after paragraph (b):

      (b.‍1) the claimant entered Canada after June 24, 2020 and made the claim more than one year after the day of their entry;

      That’s the entire passage in question.
