The Globe and Mail examined the Federal Court challenges to Canada’s one-year bar on certain refugee claims, a provision introduced through amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The article explores concerns raised by immigration lawyers and refugee advocates that the legislation may prevent vulnerable individuals from accessing Canada’s refugee protection system. Ravi Jain was quoted on June 27, 2026 on the real-world consequences of the policy, emphasizing its impact on individuals who may face persecution based on their beliefs, religion, or sexual orientation, while also calling for stronger oversight of unauthorized immigration representatives rather than limiting access to refugee protection.
