- Strong Borders Act – Major Shift in Asylum Policy
The Canadian government has introduced the Strong Borders Act, bringing big changes to how asylum claims are processed:
• Refugee claimants who wait over a year to file may no longer get full hearings, instead facing a lower-success pre-removal risk assessment.
• Border agents, Canada Post, and intelligence services now have more power to suspend or cancel documents.
📌 These changes are drawing criticism from human rights advocates. If you’re affected, let’s talk about options.
📉 2. New Immigration Levels Plan (2025–2027)
IRCC has released its updated targets:
• 395,000 PRs in 2025, then reduced to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.
• For the first time, IRCC also set a target for temporary residents:
📊 673,000+ in 2025, falling in later years.
📢 This signals a shift toward balancing immigration with housing, health, and economic capacity.
- Focus on In-Canada Applicants
Over 40% of new PRs in 2025 will come from people already here as students or workers—especially in healthcare and skilled trades.
At Robert Banton Consultancy, we’re already working with clients under these new frameworks—including those applying through the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) and healthcare sectors.
