Has Bill C-12 passed? According to section 8, if someone has claimed refugee in January 2025 and already file is referred to IRB, will that also be impacted? I mean is there any chance to have the claim as ineligible and proceed with deportation?
You are on the safe side. You filed your claim before June 2025, which is when Bill C-12 was introduced, so your claim will not be affected. Even claims referred to the IRB after this date are most likely not affected and will remain at the IRB’s discretion. The major impact of Bill C-12 is on immigration applications, not on protection claims.
