In March, Washington and Ottawa expanded the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement.
The number of irregular migrants entering Canada via the United States has fallen “significantly” since a new border rule was implemented to tighten access to asylum between the two countries, according to new data obtained by the Star.
The numbers suggest a huge drop in monthly arrivals in Canada from the first two months of this year — 4,994 in January and 4,581 in February. In April of last year alone, 2,805 irregular migrants were admitted for asylum in the country. On March 25, Washington and Ottawa expanded the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement across the entire northern border — not just at the official ports of entry — to closeThe updated accord means any foreign national who attempts to cross into Canada at any point of the 8,891-kilometre shared border without authorization will be denied access to asylum and be turned back to the U.S.
The expanded bilateral border pact also applies to those who successfully cross between official ports of entry without being detected and unwisely make a refugee claim less than 14 days after the day of entry into Canada.
