Migration and Refugee Act

The Migration and Refugee Act is a law that sets the rules for how people can enter and stay in a country. It covers three main areas: immigration (people moving to work or study), refugees (people escaping danger or persecution), and asylum (seeking protection). The act ensures fair procedures, protects the rights of migrants and refugees, and helps manage border security. It also outlines responsibilities for government agencies to assess applications and provide support, aiming to balance national interests with compassion and legal fairness for those seeking safety or new opportunities.
