Each year, UVic faculty, staff, students, alumni and retirees produce an incredible amount of intellectual content reflecting their breadth and diversity of research, teaching, personal and professional interests. A list of these works is available here.

UVic is pleased to feature a recent publication edited by UVic faculty member, Donald Galloway.  His book, Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary, 2nd edition is a comprehensive look at immigration issues in Canadian law.

About the Book

The structure of Canadian migration law has been transformed significantly, on both federal and provincial levels, with respect to temporary and permanent migration, national security, Canada’s deportation regime, inland refugee determination, family class, and economic immigration. In response to these changes, the second edition of this foundational casebook has been completely rewritten and restructured to achieve a streamlined and coherent survey of Canada’s current immigration law and policy.

In the second edition of Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary, new articles and essays have been added to illuminate central themes in the contemporary study of the Canadian immigration system, including security, criminalization, and sovereignty. Overviews at the beginning of each chapter illustrate overarching conceptual relationships between topics and facilitate efficient referencing.

This ambitious text explores the current state of Canada’s evolving immigration system, surveyed in historic, social, and comparative contexts. Insightful commentary on racial, gender, and class dimensions contributes to a thorough and multi-faceted analysis.
