Refugee Protection Act: National Defence Act

Immigration And Refugee Dept: The department recently issued a bulletin to field officers saying flight from military service in another country may make certain refugee claimants inadmissible, according to CTV. "Desertion is an offence in Canada under the National Defence Act," says the notice, issued July 22 and the Immigration Department is leaning on officers to give a more critical assessment in new cases and telling them to report more often about existing files. The new directive points to existing provisions of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act -- sections that bar refugees from Canada on the "grounds of serious criminality" -- in order to make the case. As reported in the news.
