reports indicate Canada’s new immigration and border law puts LGBTQ+ people in danger

Canada's new immigration and border law has raised concerns among LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, who argue it may endanger vulnerable asylum seekers by increasing the risk of deportation to countries where they face persecution. The law mandates that refugee claims be submitted within one year of arrival, which critics say does not account for the complexities of individual circumstances, particularly for those who may not have been able to express their sexual orientation within that timeframe. A former Middle Eastern student, whose refugee claim is now deemed ineligible under this law, expressed fears for his safety and the repercussions for his family if returned to his home country.
