Refugee Reform Resources

Understand Canada’s new refugee protection system

As Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act (PCISA – Bill C-31) has come into force, refugee claimants and service providers alike have had to educate themselves on how best to manage this expedited and complex refugee determination system.

Through the Navigating Refugee Reform Workshops offered January-May 2013 in BC’s Lower Mainland, a comprehensive list of resources, tools, and links was compiled to assist refugee claimants, service providers, and others to understand and navigate this new system.
