Cet article applique le modèle de Laura Lundy pour la participation des enfants afin de mener un examen critique des droits de participation des enfants non accompagnés lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC) et à la Commission de l’immigration et du statut de réfugié (CISR) du Canada. Les résultats de cette étude révèlent que, bien que la CISR mette en oeuvre davantage de mesures adaptées aux enfants que l’ASFC, chaque institution doit combler d’importantes lacunes en matière de droits de l’enfant afin de garantir spécifiquement les droits de participation des enfants non accompagnés tout au long de leur processus de demande d’asile au Canada.
