What are the main purposes of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act?

• A. It establishes categories of who can come into Canada from other countries to make permanent homes here.
• B. It sets healthcare policy.
• C. It regulates fisheries.
• D. It sets school curriculum.

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is how immigration law decides who can come to Canada and become a permanent resident. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is the key statute that does this. It lays out the different categories or classes of people who may enter and settle—economic immigrants, family-sponsored entrants, refugees and other protected persons—along with the rules for how their applications are processed, who is admissible, and what protections are available. In short, it governs who can come from other countries and make permanent homes here, and it covers related processes for refugee protection and entry.

Healthcare policy, fisheries regulation, and school curriculum are handled by different laws and departments, not by this act.
