Immigration and Refugee Protection Act

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) is a Canadian law that outlines how individuals can enter, stay, and become permanent residents in Canada. It establishes rules for immigrants and refugees, defining categories for those seeking to live, work, or seek asylum in Canada. The Act aims to manage immigration effectively, promote Canada’s social and economic interests, and protect those in need of refuge from persecution. It includes provisions for legal processes, rights of applicants, and responsibilities of the government, ensuring a fair treatment system for all individuals involved in the immigration process.
