Canadian Immigration and Refugee Law for Legal Professionals, 6th Edition

Canadian Immigration and Refugee Law for Legal Professionals, 6th Edition guides readers through the evolving principles and processes of Canada’s immigration, refugee protection, and citizenship systems. Unlike other resources in this area, this text provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the Canadian immigration process, from eligibility criteria to decision-making, in a student-friendly format. Readers learn to navigate legislation, regulations, government policies, tribunal rules, and operational manuals, developing the legal knowledge and practical skills needed for professional immigration practice.

The sixth edition features new coverage of digital application processes, the relationship between Indigenous peoples and Canadian immigration law, temporary resident visa exemptions, and sample family class sponsorship forms. Updated examples, recurring scenarios, and exercises challenge readers to consider how immigration and refugee law operates in real-world contexts and to apply what they have learned to practical situations. 
 
To keep pace with the evolutionary nature of Canada’s immigration, refugee protection, and citizenship systems, this text references acts, regulations, and websites to help readers locate and understand new pieces of legislation as they emerge.
