What is Canada’s new immigration bill? Fentanyl flow and border security addressed; to boost 'integrity' of country's immigration system

The Canadian government proposed a new bill aimed at tightening the country’s immigration system and expanding law enforcement powers. Known as the Strong Borders Act, the legislation would restrict some asylum claims and allow authorities to pause immigration processing in certain circumstances.The proposal comes as Canada faces mounting pressure to reduce immigration levels, with public services under strain and a national housing shortage worsening. Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, who took office after winning April’s election, has vowed to address what he called “unsustainable” immigration numbers.One major provision in the bill would bar individuals from applying for asylum if they have been in Canada for over a year, making them eligible for deportation. It would also grant police increased power to monitor the border shared with the US. Part of the bill targets the cross-border flow of fentanyl and illegal weapons, issues that have created friction with the US in recent years.Under current law, people can claim asylum in Canada regardless of how long they’ve been in the country. The new bill would change that, also requiring asylum seekers entering from the US under the safe third country agreement to apply for protection within 14 days. Even if a claim is rejected due to timing, applicants would still be eligible for a risk assessment to determine whether returning them to their home country would pose a danger.The 127-page bill also proposes expanded powers for authorities to open and inspect mail during criminal investigations, and would introduce new financial restrictions, such as banning cash transactions over Canadian $10,000 and large cash deposits into another person’s account.Immigration minister Lena Diab said the bill is designed to combat organised crime and reduce the flow of illegal drugs and weapons. She added that the proposed changes would help preserve the “integrity” of Canada’s immigration system.Critics say the proposed measures threaten civil liberties. Jenny Kwan, a lawmaker with the New Democratic Party, warned that the bill “should be alarming to many Canadians.” Advocacy group, Migrant Rights Network also condemned the legislation, calling it “immoral” and accusing the government of preparing for “mass deportations.”
