Tous étaient des résidents du Québec appartenant au groupe majoritaire de la province, soit des francophones, nés au Canada et s’identifiant comme Blancs.

CBC News – ‘Flagpoling’ now limited at 12 U.S.-Canada border crossings
A workaround that allows non-Canadians with temporary status to get same-day immigration services at the border by leaving and re-entering Canada within 24 hours is facing new limitations. The process, known as flagpoling, can let people skip the long wait times associated with applying online — and it’s completely legal. It can be done at any point of entry but is generally done at land border crossings.

Le Devoir – Ces Mexicains qui accueillent les touristes dans Charlevoix
« J’ai trouvé une merveilleuse région dans Charlevoix. » Le Mexicain d’origine Abel Francisco se plaît dans le décor de La Malbaie, son nouveau chez-soi depuis 2021.

Global News – Half a billion to clear backlog of some asylum seekers: PBO
Clearing the backlog of foreign nationals who have claimed asylum in Canada over the last five years — a “great number” of which the immigration minister says are Mexicans — will cost Canada an estimated half a billion dollars, a report from the parliamentary budget officer has found. It’s a price tag Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Canada “arguably shouldn’t have had to assume in the first place.” The PBO examined the cost of processing asylum claims filed by people who arrived in Canada using a easy to get document, known as an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTa) as opposed to a traditional visa.
