A hyphenation error in the consolidated text of the Act has been corrected: 'ex-ited' has been fixed to 'exited' in the provision describing the reporting requirement on refugee protection claimants who left and re-entered Canada. No substantive legal obligations, eligibility rules, or reporting requirements were changed. Organizations that track or report on refugee claim eligibility under this Act are unaffected in practice. This is a technical cleanup of the published text only.

Who this affects
federal immigration reporting bodies · legal counsel advising on refugee claim eligibility · compliance teams monitoring immigration legislation
