Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA)

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) is Canadian law that guides how people can come to Canada and stay safely. It sets rules for admitting immigrants, refugees, and visitors, emphasizing security, fairness, and human rights. The Act helps ensure that those arriving meet Canada's standards for health and security, and it provides procedures for seeking asylum or protection. Overall, IRPA balances welcoming newcomers with protecting Canada's borders and citizens, creating a structured approach to immigration and refugee management.
