Australian National Review – The Fed processed a record 41,350 asylum claims at airports last year

Federal border agents processed a record number of asylum claims at airports last year, following the closure of Roxham Road last March.

According to recent immigration data, 41,350 asylum applications that were made at airports last year. More than half of the claimants were convicted Montreal-Trudeau Airport, also known as the ‘new Roxham Road’.

Despite the closure of Roxham Road on March 24, 2023, thousands more are now arriving by air, mainly at Toronto and Montreal airports.

Canadian airports are currently on track for another record year in 2024, processing 31,000 asylum applications between January and July – three times the number processed at land ports of entry.

A source with knowledge of screening procedures told the National Post that border agents can only spend a limited time with each person entering the country.

Lack of time forces airport screeners to “move people to the next stage of review,” usually their admissibility hearing, and “hope they are vetted more closely later,” the source said.

Those who land at Trudeau Airport without pre-arranging accommodation will seek government-supervised shelter, courtesy of the Regional Program for the Settlement and Integration of Asylum Seekers (PRAIDA).

Refugees accessing government-supported or private sponsorship streams wait 26 to 30 months before accessing support.

Asylum seekers can remain in Canada until the FBI determines their refugee status, with claims processing typically taking two years.

Unsuccessful applicants face deportation notices, but can first appeal the decision if they wish. One of these professions usually does not last longer than a year.

This is evident from immigration figures from last September 30 claims of refugees by Mexican nationals last year, 22,875 – the highest of any country, including Haiti (16,693 claims) and Colombia (9,754).

They previously peaked in 2009 (9,511), prompting the previous Conservative government to impose visa requirements that the Trudeau government had rescinded eight years ago.

The decision to lift the visa rule has cost taxpayers a lot of money $61.7 million per yearaccording to the immigration service.

The number of Mexican refugee applications in Canada has increased dramatically since 2016 (250), prompting the Trudeau government to reintroduce Mexican visa requirements in February.

The influx of Mexican asylum seekers into Canada has more than doubled every year between 2016 and 2023.

On October 24, 2023, Minister Marc Miller said in testimony before the House of Commons immigration committee that it appeared Mexican drug cartels had contributed to the flow of new refugee claims. “We are very aware of potential crime,” he said.

The RCMP last September 25 told Rebel news that an investigation into the matter is underway. Criminal entities have established migration routes for illegal immigrants to enter Canada under a veil of secrecy.

The RCMP received a five-page document from the Biden administration detailing how Mexican cartels and southern “organized criminal groups” have gained a stronger foothold in Canada. These networks also smuggle contraband into the country via these routes, such as drugs, tobacco and firearms.
