Current Status of the "Rainbow Road" Appeal with the IRCC

Current Status

Presently, there have been no updates found regarding the appeal made by "Reading Rainbow" to current border policy measures.

The Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) remains in effect, resulting in a complete restriction on the ability for refugees to enter Canada from the United States.

This includes trans-individuals fleeing persecution in the United States in-acted by anti-trans legislation and other harmful policies targeting LGBTQIA individuals and women.
