Join Joshua Prowse, Karina Juma, and a spokesperson from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, for a practical look at the changing landscape of refugee protection.
2026 has been one of the most consequential years for Canadian refugee practice since the establishment of the Refugee Appeal Division. This session explores changes to the online refugee claims portal, the practice implications of amendments to the Refugee Protection Division Rules and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, and how Bill C-12 is affecting refugee practitioners and their clients.
