The freeze on processing in certain regions, coupled with cap limitations and wage-stream distinctions, means that applications which once sailed through may now be refused or held indefinitely. Engaging early with an experienced immigration consultant, ensuring compliance with recruitment requirements, and reviewing your wage and location strategy will significantly improve your chances of success. Should you wish to explore whether your business qualifies under an exception or to move your application to the high-wage stream, professional guidance is strongly advised.

Canadian bill seeks to deny hearings to some asylum-seekers

June 4, 2025 — The Canadian government has introduced a new border-security bill aimed at tightening asylum procedures and immigration controls. The bill proposes denying refugee hearings to certain asylum-seekers, particularly those in Canada for over a year or who delay filing claims after entering from the U.S. Under the proposed legislation, these individuals would instead undergo a pre-removal risk assessment, which has a lower approval rate (30%) compared to full refugee hearings (60% in 2019). The bill also includes provisions to suspend, cancel, or amend immigration documents in the public interest and facilitates greater information sharing and mail monitoring. The legislation is part of efforts to address U.S. concerns, including fentanyl trafficking, and reduce immigration levels amid a backlog of over 280,000 refugee cases. Migrant advocates warn the bill may result in vulnerable individuals being deported without proper due process, accusing the government of undermining human rights. The bill must still pass several legislative stages, including readings in the House of Commons and the Senate.
