Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Charles Poirier stated, 'We knew a few months ago that we had to start prepping a contingency plan because if he comes into power, which now he will in a few months, it could drive illegal migration and irregular migration into (the province of) Quebec and into Canada.' This reflects the proactive stance of Canadian authorities in anticipating increased migration due to changes in U.S. immigration policies.
Current data indicates that Canada currently faces record numbers of refugee claimants, with nearly 20,000 claims filed in July alone, which underscores the impact of global displacements. Even though the number dropped to 16,400 in September, the figures still remain historically high, with over 250,000 claims pending.
The situation illustrates a contradiction for Canada as the government aims to reduce permanent and temporary immigration numbers while having less control over the influx of asylum seekers. This scenario presents a complex challenge to Canadian immigration policy amid broader geopolitical changes.
