CBC – Update on Number of Asylum Seekers only Part of the Story
Last month, the federal government promised monthly updates on the numbers of people being intercepted at the Canada/U.S. border. That was after the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency stopped releasing those numbers, citing inconsistencies in their own record keeping — much to the frustration of local and opposition politicians, and many of the people living in border communities.
Al Jazeera English – Asylum Seekers from US Surge into Canada
Canada is on track to see the highest number of asylum claims in six years, given the pace of claims filed so far, as increasing numbers of people cross into Canada to make refugee claims following US President Donald Trump’s election and his crackdown on refugees and migrants.
The Globe and Mail – Gay Men are Being Persecuted in Chechnya – but Canada says it’s not Our Problem
In a statement provided to The Globe and Mail, a spokesman for the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship indicated the men would not qualify because they were hiding out in Russia. “In order to be considered for resettlement, individuals must be outside their country of origin,” Remi Lariviere said via e-mail.

CBC – U.S. Border Officers not Doing Enough to Stop Asylum-Seekers, Canadian Union Rep Says
“[Border officers] are convinced that Americans are ridding themselves of the problem by bringing asylum seekers to Roxham Road instead of driving them to the Lacolle border crossing,” said union president Jean-Pierre Fortin. […] Fortin has said he wants the federal government to create a team of CBSA officers who would patrol in between ports of entry, a job that is currently part of the RCMP’s responsibilities.
Toronto Star – Judge Grills Government on How Long is Too Long in Immigration Detention
How long is too long? That was the question with which Superior Court Justice Ian Nordheimer grilled government lawyers on Thursday regarding Kashif Ali, an immigration detainee who has been locked up in maximum-security jail for more than seven years because Canada has been unable to deport him. “It seems to me the fundamental question,” said Nordheimer, one of the province’s most respected judges, who wanted to know whether Canada believes it should have the right to hold someone in immigration detention indefinitely. […] Nordheimer’s decision is scheduled for April 28.
