A special program Canada brought in last year to make it easier for tourists, business travellers and those with relatives in this country to visit has led to some unexpected consequences.
Newly obtained documents show that a striking percentage of people who took advantage of the expedited visitor visas that the program offered have now applied to stay here — as asylum seekers.
It’s a situation, some say, that reflects among other things the pent-up demand for asylum created during the pandemic, when the border was closed.
Just another loophole created by the Trudeau government to flood the country.
