This talk examines proposed changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act under Bill C-2, situating reforms within a wider federal securitization agenda.
It outlines shifts in refugee protection, state authority over immigration documents, and data-sharing, assessing implications for migrants with precarious status, access to justice, and the future of Canadian migration governance.
About the speaker: Dr. Lisa Brunner is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UBC's Centre for Migration Studies. Her work focuses on migration and education in Global North settler-colonial contexts, with expertise in edugration, newcomer settlement, refugee resettlement, and citizenship education
