IRCC says new asylum-processing regulations took effect November 3, introducing a single online application process and revised review steps. Its backgrounder says people applying from inside Canada first indicate their intention through the IRCC Portal, then formally make their claim at an appointment with an officer. The changes also address representatives for vulnerable claimants and work permits for eligible claimants.
