. R. v. Qita

In R. v. Qita (Ont CA, 2026) the Ontario Court of Appeal allowed the defendants' appeal, here brought against convictions for 10 "counts under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act", here where the appeal was grounded in "the trial judge’s long delay in delivering her written reasons for judgment".

Here the court considers the 'Private Sponsorship of Refugees' program ('PSR'):
[7] The applications were made under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees program (“PSR”). The program is administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (“IRCC”). Under this program, private sponsors (individual Canadians, corporations, and community groups), rather than the government, have the opportunity to identify refugee claimants and take on financial and non-financial responsibility for the claimants in Canada. Sponsors must demonstrate that they are able to support refugee claimants for 12 months, at rates calculated by the government.
