A new refugee selection process is on the cards, a process which would pace up the pending decisions and protect the rights of genuine applicants too. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said that the “Asylum System for the country is broken.”

Under the proposed reform, asylum seekers would be granted eight days to obtain counsel. Next, their claim would be heard in 60 months from the date of filing the claim. Kenney confirmed that the introduction of a distinct section of the Immigration and Refugee Board which would be responsible for hearing the cases.

If the reform will get approval, then failed asylum seekers would be ship out within an year. The reform needs to be passed by Parliament!

Claimers have to keep this thing in mind that the number of appeals are limited. One cannot file appeal after an appeal, as those days are over now, the minister confirmed.

People who speak out fake stories to reside in the nation have no right to stay here. He also clarified that claimants make wrong use of the refugee process, making it as a backdoor entry for gaining access to the Canadian premises. Hence, the new reform would allow the Immigration officials to point out those nations which are safe countries.

The amendment would allow the Immigration department to assist more refugees settle in the nation and aid the newcomers ground themselves in the new country.
