Bill C-2 & Bill C-12 Explained: How New Immigration Bills Threaten Refugee Rights in Canada 2025

In this November 2025 edition of Fusion Law & NICS Legal Education Workshop, David Ibeawuchi (Barrister & Solicitor) breaks down two major immigration bills currently before Parliament—Bill C-2 (Strong Borders Act) and Bill C-12 (Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act). These bills propose sweeping changes to Canada’s refugee and immigration systems, including: ⚠️ One-year bar on refugee claims for people already in Canada ⚠️ 14-day restriction for irregular border crossers ⚠️ Replacement of IRB hearings with paper-based PRRA reviews ⚠️ New powers for Cabinet to cancel or suspend immigration documents ⚠️ Expanded surveillance and U.S.–Canada information-sharing Many civil society organizations—including Amnesty International, the Canadian Council for Refugees, and CCLA—are calling for the withdrawal of both bills due to their impact on procedural fairness, access to justice, and Canada’s international refugee protection obligations. This video explains: 🔹 What each bill contains 🔹 Why they were introduced 🔹 How they threaten refugee rights 🔹 What the proposed ineligibility rules mean 🔹 Advocacy concerns and Charter implications If you work with newcomers, refugees, settlement agencies or legal support organizations, this is essential information.
