Britain plans to carry out the most significant reform of its asylum policy in modern times by making refugee status temporary and quadrupling the wait for permanent settlement to 20 years, as the Labour government confronts a “broken” asylum system that has fueled support for right-wing parties.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is expected to announce major reforms to the asylum system on Monday.

Britain plans major asylum reforms, making refugee status temporary and extending the wait for permanent settlement to 20 years.

The British government plans to tighten its asylum system, following Denmark's model, to reduce immigration and address the political storm over migrants crossing the English Channel.

Peel Region will be receiving $103.4 million in federal funding to support its ongoing asylum and refugee services, representatives announced at a news conference Friday.

New measures set to be announced by Shabana Mahmood on Monday will include people granted asylum needing to wait 20 years before they can apply to settle permanently. The plans will also see those granted asylum have their refugee status regularly reviewed and those whose home countries are then deemed safe told to return.
