Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act (French: Loi visant à protéger le système d’immigration du Canada), or Bill C-31, is an act of the 41st Canadian Parliament sponsored by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, Jason Kenney.

Introduced on 16 February 2012 and receiving Royal Assent on 28 June 2012, Kenney claimed that the bill is necessary to protect the refugee system, and that it would address the number of "bogus refugees" and claimants from European Union democracies. As such, the Act purposed to amend Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, Balanced Refugee Reform Act, Marine Transportation Security Act, and the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Act.
