Globe and Mail – Increase in Asylum Seekers Apprehended in Quebec, June Figures Show

There has been a “pronounced” shift in where the RCMP are arresting people crossing illegally into Canada, new figures released Friday indicate. The federal government data, including preliminary figures for June, show a drop in the number of people being apprehended in Manitoba, but a major increase in Quebec. Nationally, the RCMP intercepted 884 people who crossed into Canada between regular ports of entry in June, up from 742 the month before, says the report posted on a government website. Of that total, 781 were caught in Quebec, compared to 576 the previous month. In Manitoba on the other hand, 63 people were apprehended, down from 106 the month before.

CBC News – 4 Stowaways Highlight Desperation of Asylum Seekers, Says Immigration Lawyer

The discovery of four men stowed away in a shipping container in the Port of Montreal Thursday show just how desperate asylum seekers are getting, says immigration lawyer Eric Taillefer. The four men, who are believed to be in their 30s and 40s, were taken to hospital and treated for heat stroke and dehydration. The stowaways arrived in the Port of Montreal in a container that came off a Hong Kong-flagged ship that had last visited Hamburg, Germany.
