Canadian Refugee Protection Act

The Canadian Refugee Protection Act is a law that provides the legal framework for protecting people who flee their countries due to persecution, war, or danger. It lays out how refugees can seek safety in Canada, how their claims are reviewed fairly, and the rules for granting protection status. The Act aims to ensure that genuine refugees receive aid while maintaining Canada's borders and national security. It balances compassion with the rule of law, guiding how Canada manages refugee admissions, asylum processes, and related legal rights.
