Abstract
In the 2023 case of Li v Canada, the Canadian Federal Court upheld the refusal of a visa for Chinese national, Yuekang Li, based on his apprehended risk of engaging in espionage. Yet this decision is only the latest in a string of cases in Canada evidencing a tougher stance on research security — that is, the protection of certain university research and programs with national security dimensions. In Australia, where research security is almost entirely absent from political and policy discourse, what is the potential role of migration law in the pursuit of research security? Can Australia learn anything from Canada’s experience? The answers to these questions help inform not only Australia’s burgeoning migration law scholarship, but also future pathways for the due recognition of research security in this country.
