Hi, the implementation of this initiative cannot be expected without the approval of the 2025 budget implementation law! The Senate is expected to vote on it next week, then royal assent must be obtained, entry into force is expected in April, after which the start of the initiative can be expected. good luck to everyone, we are all waiting for it..

The budget for this initiative was approved back in November 2025.

I think that you are referring to Bill C-12 which is almost there.. just cleared by the Senate Committee and now pending the final stage: royal assent.

Bill C-12 will provide sweeping executive powers over Canada's immigration system to the Governor in Council acting upon the advice of the prime minister and cabinet.

Official statements indicate so far that this bill has nothing to do with protected persons. However, simply.. who knows!!

In the United Kingdom (UK), initial protection lasts about 30 months (two and a half years). After this period, the Home Office reviews conditions in the person’s home country. Protection can be renewed only if it is still unsafe to return. In Canada, the government has been introducing measures to speed up processing and improve system integrity, but it is not replacing the asylum system with temporary status. Bill C‑12 (Strong Borders Act) proposes changes that could make some asylum claims ineligible, depending on when the claim is filed relative to arrival in Canada. If granted, protected person status can lead to permanent residency, while the reforms aim to enhance processing efficiency and system integrity.
