In response to the global surge in displaced populations, Canada is taking significant steps to strengthen its asylum system. Last month, the government announced a $743.5 million investment over five years, starting in 2024-2025, with $159.5 million ongoing support. This funding aims to address integrity issues and improve the efficiency of the in-Canada asylum process. Measures include implementing partial visa requirements for Mexican nationals, enhancing claims processing, and exploring additional strategies to fortify visa integrity. These initiatives reflect Canada’s commitment to balancing humanitarian responsibilities with the need for a fair and robust immigration system.
