== A. Main Sources of Immigration Law == | |||
Immigration law is a very dynamic area, and it has undergone significant change in the recent past. For this reason, it is imperative to refer to the following sources for the most up to date information about immigration law: | |||
* [http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/i-2.5/ Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, RSC 2001, c 27 ["IRPA"<nowiki>]</nowiki>] | |||
* [http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/ Immigration and Refugee Protections Regulations, SOR/2002-227 ["IRP Regulations"<nowiki>]</nowiki>] | |||
* [http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/resources/manuals/index.asp Operational Bulletins and Manuals] | |||
There are six general sources of immigration law and policy: the IRPA, the ''IRP Regulations'', the Manuals, the Operational Bulletins, the Ministerial Instructions, and case law. [http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/const/page-15.html The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms] is also applicable to immigration matters as the IRPA and ''IRP Regulations'' must be consistent with the ''Charter'' provisions. | |||
