Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has introduced a temporary public policy exempting unaccompanied minors (under 18 with no parent or legal guardian in Canada) from new asylum ineligibility rules introduced under Bill C-12. The policy ensures these vulnerable claimants can still have their refugee protection claims referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board despite the one-year and 14-day filing restrictions, and applies to eligibility decisions made on or after May 19, 2026.
