Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the federal government is ready to work with the United States as it implements president-elect Donald Trump’s promises to crack down on immigration, but he wants anyone hoping to come to Canada to do so legally.
Ottawa has been under increasing pressure from opposition MPs, the Quebec Premier and immigration lawyers since last week’s U.S. election to respond to concerns that Mr. Trump’s plans to deport millions of people will lead to an influx of asylum seekers coming into Canada. Mr. Miller told The Globe and Mail that any claims that the incoming president’s plans could affect Canada are “speculation.”
