In June 2025, the Canadian Government introduced Bill C-2 before Parliament which threatens the right to seek asylum and would put people seeking safety in danger. This bill would prevent people who have been in Canada for more than one year from making a claim for refugee protection that would be fairly assessed, give politicians the power to cancel permanent residence, work permits and study permits without a fair process, and expand police and intelligence surveillance powers over anyone, regardless of immigration status. If passed, it risks violating people’s rights under international law. Call on the Canadian government to immediately withdraw Bill C-2.
