They examined legislation, case-law, policy documents and administrative guidelines. This Policy Brief explores the findings, highlighting the challenges and the shortcomings observed in Canada as well as proposing concrete policy recommendations. Given that the study draws solely on desk research, most of these findings are subject to clarification and\/or confirmation following our interviews with civil servants and practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The VULNER Project is co-led by LERRN partners <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/delphine-nakache\/\">Delphine Nakache<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/dagmar-soennecken\/\">Dagmar Soennecken<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white cu-section--cards ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;6,&quot;showAllPosts&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cards&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cu_file&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;white&quot;,&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;3,&quot;order&quot;&#x3A;&quot;ASC&quot;,&quot;orderBy&quot;&#x3A;&quot;title&quot;,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;none&quot;,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cu_file_type&quot;,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;262&quot;,&quot;tags&quot;&#x3A;&quot;&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts hidden\">\n            No\n            file\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n                        \n                    \n    \n    \n<div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-lg flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 \">\n    <figure class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-10 h-10 mx-6 mt-6 mb-2 overflow-hidden \">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.carleton.ca\/rds\/assets\/font-awesome\/file-pdf.svg\" alt=\"An icon of a saxophone\" class=\"cu-icon-thumb \" style=\"filter: invert(20%) sepia(50%) saturate(7177%) hue-rotate(348deg) brightness(91%) contrast(100%);\"><\/figure>\n\n        \n            <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 text-left first:mt-6\">\n                \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        VULNER Policy Brief: Canada (2021)\n    <\/h2>\n\n            <\/header>\n\n\n        <div class=\"flex flex-col px-6 text-left\">\n            <p class=\"text-base text-cu-black-700\">\n                \n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <footer class=\"px-6 pt-3 mt-auto md:pt-5\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/250\/VULNER_PB_Canada_20211.pdf\" class=\"cu-button cu-button--red cu-button--small\">\n                Download\n                <span class=\"sr-only\">\n                    VULNER Policy Brief: Canada (2021)\n                <\/span>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/footer>\n    <\/div>\n    \n                    \n        <\/div>\n        \n                                    \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Canadian team of the VULNER Project, (Vulnerabilities under the Global Protection Regime: How Does the Law Assess, Address, Shape and Produce the Vulnerabilities of the Protection Seekers?) studied how vulnerable asylum seekers (and other vulnerable migrants) are identified, and how their special reception and procedural needs are assessed and addressed in Canada.
