Summary

A major barrier preventing many refugee applicants from securing protection in Canada is that strict laws under the Safe Third Country Agreement and various Order in Councils specifically restrict the access of non-CANadians who cross the border. As refugees or academicians must navigate complex regulatory hurdles to obtain legal entry into the nation, this systemic exclusion creates significant obstacles to their ability to become Canadian citizens.

Without adequate legal frameworks, these individuals face a higher risk of being denied asylum based solely on their background or travel history rather than their unique life circumstances within the country. Consequently, the current border policies actively prevent nearly all potential applicants from applying, leaving many refugees without the critical step of legal recognition required to enter the country.
