Refugees who had been approved to travel to the United States before a deadline next week suspending America’s refugee resettlement program have had their travel plans cancelled by the Trump administration. Thousands of refugees who fled war and persecution and had gone through a sometimes yearslong process to start new lives in the U.S. are now stranded at various locations worldwide.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s raft of policy changes on his first day in office, including rolling back rights of transgender people and ending citizenship as a birthright in the United States, are expected to lead to a rise in claims for asylum in Canada, immigration experts say.

The Conversation — Broken promises are why some international students turn to seeking asylum
Canada faces a major contradiction in its immigration policies. Thousands of international students, once celebrated as “ideal immigrants,” are now turning to the asylum system. As a migration policy researcher and former international student, I have watched this predicament unfold with growing concern. Federal immigration data reveal a surge in asylum claims by international students. The claims rose from 1,810 in 2018 to nearly 12,000 in 2023, with another 13,660 filed in the first nine months of 2024.
CBC News — Canada’s immigration department cutting roughly 3,300 jobs over 3 years
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced plans to cut about 3,300 jobs, or about a quarter of its workforce, over the next three years. The federal department emailed employees on Monday about its “budget situation” and the impact on staffing, which IRCC later confirmed with CBC. The email stated it was unclear who would be impacted by these cuts, but it would reach every sector and branch. Those affected would be notified starting in mid-February.
