Illegal Border Crossing In Canada

Canada is well known for its size. It has the same size as China, yet it has about thirty times as less people. Inviting the refugees to Canada helps increase the country’s population and fill the empty space in the northern territories and the maritime provinces. Furthermore, the elderly population has been increasing dramatically in Canada, which means more retirements have been occurring. Thus, refugees will also help to fill empty workplaces, as Daniel Tencer states “Atlantic Canada has been facing low population growth and an aging workforce for years, and some business leaders there are pushing to make sure the region

These refugees are fleeing from their home countries with nothing but the clothes on their back and desperation. Canada does not have border problems as many countries in Europe do. EU countries have been having thousands of illegal refugees crossing their borders, leading to many logistic problems and tension between countries. Canada does not have this issue due to the giant Atlantic Ocean distancing us from Syria. However, the Canadian Government along with Canadian NGO’s, individual Canadians and private funds have assisted in bringing 33,000 refugees to Canada in the last

Borders between nations are, largely, used to control and monitor the movement of people internationally. One of the fundamental problems with the border control of states is their ineffectiveness in preventing and deterring people from crossing borders. The most notorious border, the Mexico-United States border, spans an area of 1,989mi (International Boundary & Water Commission, 2017) and has become increasingly militarised over the years due to the, ever increasing, influx of Mexican immigrants attempting to cross the border. The US border security claimed an 81% success rate in preventing illegal immigrants from crossing the border in 2015. However, alternative estimates suggest that the border security’s success rate was in the 40-55% range

The documentary Who Get’s In? examines the immigration policies and priorities of the Canadian government, said to represent the economic needs and values of the Canadian people. The film documents the experiences of migrants from asian and african countries and the barriers particular groups of migrants face.

For various reasons, it may become necessary to leave one's home country. Many people are attracted to Canada. Some people do not leave their countries because of choice, but because of unjust persecution. Such persons are referred to as refugees. There exists an administrative body that addresses the needs and rights of refugees seeking relocation and settlement in Canada; this administrative body is called the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. Refugees very often are in desperate situations that called for cultural sensitivity and processing through legal avenues. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada handles these duties. This paper will briefly examine this board, its decision-making process, and evaluate the efficacy of the board.

Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is an act respecting immigration to Canada and the granting of refugee protection to persons who are displayed, persecuted or in danger. Immigration has had a big effect on today’s community’s and environments here in Canada. Disclosed are the pros and cons of immigration in Canada, the pros and cons of the IRB procedures and hearings, and also my view on working in immigration law.

The United States and Canada immigration system is both complex and kind of similar to one another. The United States is a huge immigration destination for a lot of legal and illegal immigrants. The US has been a huge immigration location for a large amount of time now. Canada is not far behind the United States when it comes down to immigration although the US has more. The US legal immigrants have a green card to be a United States citizen and have the rights as a United States citizen. In the United States immigrants help benefit major business by the great labor they put in. The United States immigrants are very diverse with the Asians being the most. There is a lot of illegal immigrants as well as legal and that is why some of the US citizen say “the broken border”.

Clare Foran once stated, “The more obstacles that stand in the way, the more perilous it will be to cross.” In today’s society, many immigrants are illegally entering the United States of America by the border of Mexico. Many Americans tend to agree with politicians that people in the country illegally are criminals and social and economic burdens to law-abiding, tax-paying Americans and that illegal immigrants cost taxpayers billions for social services. These citizens believe that people who break the law by crossing the U.S. borders without proper documentation or by overstaying their visas should be deported and not rewarded with a path to citizenship and access to social service since they acted in a disloyal way to achieve the position

This discussion became more prevalent due to Canada being on the verge of a federal election in October 2015. Canada’s Immigration and Refugee protection policy and the strategic position of the political parties became one of the popular discussion topics in all of the candidate’s political debates. Citation needed? Citation would be a good idea.

Immigrants who come to Canada are survivors of armed conflict or torture, victims of smuggling and human trafficking or even children and families, many of whom do not speak English or French. They come to this country to seek security and live out a healthier life, they are not criminals, nor are they facing criminal charges. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has an overflow of immigrants who enter the country seeking refuge, their solution to this overflow, while they wait for approval to stay in the country, is to transfer these vulnerable people, who most likely suffer with mental health issues due to their previous living conditions, and confining them without notice, to provincial prisons, even though they are not serving a criminal

Canada may not be a good place for immigrants because the government is extractive. The take of the land from Indigenous people is ongoing. Many indigenous girls are murdered around Canada and the government does not do anything to stop that. Canada is committed to free trade, multiculturalism on paper, but these policies do not apply in real-life. Even today, the government is still extracting land “the crime of indigenous girl should only have been a crime with no social implications”. Are those girls murdered because they are part of the minority or just a regular crime of people? There is no possible reconciliation between indigenous people and the government. In 2002, a female indigenous had to fast for 6 weeks to have the attention of

In America, immigration has been an issue for a long time. American law enforcements, are striving to keep illegal immigrants from crossing the border. Although, the law enforcement doesn’t realize that they should worry more on drug trafficking, even though crossing the border is violating the law as well. Many Americans see Mexican immigrants as good or bad today. With the sources, I will be implying facts of pros and cons of illegal immigrants. It will include how Americans feel about illegal immigrants and if our law system is weak enough to let people come cross the border that easy throughout the years. Also, I will persuade readers into solving the issue with illegal immigrants by educating them. Why take them out, when most immigrants

The appellant, a woman with Canadian-born dependent children, was ordered deported. She then applied for an exemption, based on humanitarian and compassionate considerations under s. 114(2) of the Immigration Act, from the requirement that an application for permanent residence be made from outside Canada. This application was supported by letters indicating concern about the availability of medical treatment in her country of origin and the effect of her possible departure on her Canadian-born children.

To add to this ninety percent of Canada’s population lives within a 100 miles of the borders. We have increased our number of agents from pre 911 of 340 agents to post 911 of 2,200 agents. We are also using Remote Video Surveillance systems, Thermal cameras, mobile Surveillance Systems and several UAVs. About a year after 911 happened I was The 18th ABN Corps G-2 Ops NCOIC, I was also the Subject matter Expert or SME on Tactical intelligence assets and Long Range Surveillance. I went to the Area where Vermont and New York and Canada meet or tri borders area. I was asked how to secure the tri border area with intelligence assets to look for smugglers using Lake Champlain both in the summer (boats) and in the winter (snow mobiles) and they have a lot of area with no population that they were using to smuggle illegals across the border in big numbers 30-50 people. There were large amounts of cash being smuggled north to get it out of the U.S. (over a

Mexico does not recognize the criteria that a country should have in order to be considered a safe country. “Recognition of basic democratic rights and freedoms, including mechanisms for redress if those rights or freedoms are infringed; and the existence of civil society organizations” (Government of Canada). Therefore Mexico should be ruled out of the “safe countries of origin” list. Since it is not safe to live in Mexico, asylum seekers should be allowed to ask for protection and they should be granted to stay in Canada. If individuals leave Mexico to have a better life, to live a normal life where they do not have to watch their back, to leave in a country where they feel like they are protected by the government and/or authority then they should be grated to stay in countries like Canada. If not, they may end up hurt or even dead in their country. Other countries may not be a safe country like Mexico and this makes me question if countries like Canada should get to decide whether a country is safe or not for its people to
