Canada to reform refugee system

Количество беженцев и расходы на них увеличатся. Хороша реформа.

Proposed reforms to Canada's refugee system would increase the number of refugees accepted into the country and provide more funding to help them integrate into society and find jobs.
Under the proposed legislation announced Monday, Canada would resettle as many as 14,500 refugees selected by the United Nations annually, 2,500 more than it does currently.

Five hundred of those would be sponsored by the government; the remaining 2,000 would be sponsored by Canadians and permanent residents as part of the private sponsorship refugees program.

That package aims to speed up the approval system for refugee claimants who come to Canada looking for asylum by efficiently sorting out legitimate refugees from those who are trying to take advantage of Canada's system.

Under the new legislation, refugee claimants would be sorted into two groups — those from democratic countries deemed safe, and those from more dangerous spots.

The safe-country people would be fast-tracked, but would still have access to a full hearing.

Bureaucrats, rather than political appointees, would handle the initial decisions.

And the bill would set up a new, more robust appeal system, allowing those who are turned down to introduce new evidence before they are ejected from Canada.

Kenney wants to get rid of the huge backlog of refugee claimants who often have to wait up to two years before their legal limbo is cleared up. He also wants to close loopholes in the system that allow posers to play the system and stay in Canada for years.
