Canadian consulates in the United States have been told to set the record straight about Canada’s immigration policies as the flow of asylum seekers continues unabated. “We have mobilized them to get in touch with different groups that might be considering coming to Canada so they can clearly explain the rules in place and the criteria that must be met before being able to come,” said Transport Minister Marc Garneau.

CBC News – Half of Quebecers Want to Prevent Illegal Crossing at Canada-U.S. Border: New Poll

About half of Quebecers surveyed in a new poll say they’d be in favour of preventing migrants from crossing illegally at the Canada–U.S. border. The numbers, gathered this week in a poll commissioned by SOM-Cogeco Nouvelles, show that 51 per cent of respondents were in favour of blocking direct access at the border. The results indicate that younger people, university-educated people and those living in the Montreal area were less likely to agree with the idea of tighter controls at the border.
