難民問題是一個國際性問題，難民是指居住在自己國籍國家以外，無法或不願返國的個人，由於種族、宗教、國籍、特定社會成員身分，或政治立場遭迫害而有所恐懼。由於難民對移入國造成政治、經濟、文化、社會、教育、安全等方面的衝擊，政府必須規劃難民政策並制定相關法規來因應難民問題。加拿大每年收容難民約25,000人，約收容世界上難民的10%，加拿大在2002年制定「移民及難民保護法」等法規，建立了完整的難民政策，並與聯合國難民署及國際移民組織等單位進行合作，共同協力來解決難民的安置問題。加拿大落實人權治國理念，積極參與國際事務，實質進行難民庇護措施，政府與民間共同合作提供難民保護及協助，並因時制宜的對其難民政策進行調整，以利其國家未來發展。本文以加拿大的難民歷史沿革之架構出發，就加拿大難民政策發展歷程、接納難民現況及難民政策實踐及改革措施作一整理，文末筆者以其研究發現提出建議及結論。 / Refugee problem was recognized as an international issue. The term of “refugee” has been perceived as people who face systematic discrimination on the bases of ethnicity, religion, nationality, and membership in a specific social group with “fear of persecution”. The problem of refugee has fostered an intense debate regarding what changes of political, economic, cultural, educational and secure environments are necessary in refugee-receiving countries to provide effective solutions. In Canada, there are about 25,000 people entered to seek asylum every year – with approximately 10% of all refugees worldwide. In order to deal with refugees’ settlement issues, Immigration and Refugee Protection Act came into effect in 2002. In addition, the Canadian government's effort in cooperating with UNHCR and IOM enables refugees to stay in safety. The dissertation presents historical overview of issues of refugees and provides critical review and discussion on refugee policies in Canada. In the end, the author proposed her personal conclusion and suggestion through the research.
