C-12: What You Need to Know About the New Canadian Immigration Law Changes
📣 Free Online Presentation | Bill C-12: What You Need to Know
📅 Saturday, April 18, 2025 | 8:00 PM ET
Are you a member of the Turkish community living in Canada — as a student, worker, permanent resident, or newcomer?
Join our own Sami Has for a free, plain-language online presentation breaking down Bill C-12 (the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act). Now that Royal Assent has been granted, significant changes are coming into effect that will impact tens of thousands of people already living in Canada.
🔍 Why You Should Attend:
✅ Understand the one-year asylum rule — if you arrived in Canada after June 24, 2020, and have not yet filed a refugee or asylum claim, this rule could directly affect your options.
✅ Learn about information sharing — government agencies, including provincial bodies, will be able to share your immigration status information more broadly than ever before.
✅ Get answers — our presentation will walk through who is most affected, what documents are at risk, what steps to take now, and where to get qualified legal help.
Whether you are a student on a study permit, a temporary worker, someone in the asylum process, or simply a community member who wants to stay informed — this presentation is designed for you.
Spread the word. Share this event with family, friends, and colleagues in the Turkish Canadian community. Knowledge is the best protection.
