• Refugee funding “Much of the increase — $289.9 million — is the result of the immigration levels

to support family reunification and protection of refugees.”– Source -

The new data shows that, between January 1 and March 31, 2017, there were a total of
8,960 asylum claims filed through either the Department of Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). The
estimate of asylum seekers would be close to 30,000. Nearly double the average which is
about 16,000

“January and February, we were getting updates from the RCMP and (Canada Border Services
Agency),” Falk said Monday. “We’ve been making the same inquiries from the same individuals,
and they tell us that Ottawa has gagged them and that they are unable to provide us that
information.”
Falk said he believes the number of illegal border crossers is rising, and said he’s seen it first-
hand.
“I came through the border two weeks ago on a Saturday night, and there were more than a
dozen individuals at the Emerson port of entry, just waiting to be processed. And this was on a
Saturday night. We know the numbers are increasing, and that’s something that they don’t want
Canadians to know

30. Safe Country Agreement
Nowhere in this 1951 treaty is anything mentioned about refugee
status procedures. The word “asylum” is not even mentioned in any
of its 46 articles. The most relevant obligation is found in article 33,
which stipulates that refugees cannot be returned to a country where
their “life or freedom would be threatened.” This basic guarantee is
not the same as a right of asylum in that it allows some flexibility as
long as refugees’ lives are not endangered. Unless a Canadian court
determines the U.S. is no longer safe, there is no violation of the
convention if migrants arriving at the Quebec border are returned to
upstate New York. This principle is what allows Australia’s
controversial policy of intercepting boat people and offloading them
onto what Canberra considers to be safe Pacific islands.

34. Trudeau and Refugees
Source - http://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/bonokoski-justin-trudeau-avoids-kicking-the-immigration-hornets-nest
What is not “fair” or “equal”, however, is the treatment of legitimate refugee and immigrant claimants
who are pushed to the back of an increasingly long line for making the mistake of following the rules.
They get the short end of the stick while illegal queue-jumpers wanting out of Trump’s America as if
their lives were in peril get treated with kid gloves rather than being hauled back onto American soil
as they would be if they tried the same stunt at any legitimate Canada-U.S. border crossing.
Trudeau never mentioned this, of course — nor his father, or himself, as the creators of today’s crisis
at our border.
That would have kicked an already over-poked hornet’s nest.

36. Ontario and Federal Govt / Refugees
Minister Hussen calls Lisa McLeod un-Canadian
“Ontario’s minister responsible for immigration wants the
federal government to cut a cheque for $200 million to
cover the cost of housing and caring for migrants in the
province.
Lisa MacLeod, who appeared before a special session of
the Commons Immigration committee dealing with the
migrant crisis, said on Tuesday that the pressure of
irregular refugees is “stretching” a system that was already
tested by other demands.
“I have a $200 million price tag I need you guys to pay,”
MacLeod said
”

37. Refugee System – Mess and Broke
• The wait time for a refugee claim hearing in Canada increased more than a third over the past two years, to
20 months, as more than 30,000 asylum seekers arriving via unauthorized border crossings placed significant
pressure on the system.
• Overwhelmed by the number of migrants, the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) has only managed to
finalize 15 per cent of the 27,674 asylum claims made by people who illegally entered Quebec – where the
majority of the crossings took place, mostly at a single location near St. Bernard-de-Lacolle – between
February, 2017, and this June.

38. What needs to be done?
• The asylum seekers should be turn back over to USA through suspending the safe harbor agreement
• Canada can set people back as there is nothing in the safe country agreement that says Canada has to offer claimants a hearing -

• Federal funds need to be made available to provincial, municipal and community groups to support the handling of asylum seekers.
