 "New trouble for Punjabi Pardhas who went to Canada!, the government has started taking a tough decision…")
Canada is constantly implementing strict rules to block the passage of migrant workers and students. Meanwhile, Immigration Minister Mark Miller has said that further reforms in Canada’s immigration and asylum systems will be proposed in the coming weeks. International students may be barred from seeking asylum in Canada. With this decision, Indians, especially Punjabis, may get a big shock. Let it be said that after the strictness of the Trudeau government, a large number of illegal immigrants who have gone here have sought asylum, although the Canadian government is not in a mood to care.
Mark Miller while appearing before the Parliamentary Committee said that the Asylum system is not working properly which has to be completely changed. Statistics provided by Canadian authorities show that the average wait time for refugee and asylum claims to be processed is about 44 months. The Immigration and Refugee Board had more than 260,000 asylum claims under consideration by the end of October, and the figure continues to rise.
The Government of Canada has prepared to resolve the cases of those claiming asylum as soon as possible after coming on a visitor visa and thousands of claims may be rejected in the coming days. Mark Miller said that a large number of people made unreasonable asylum claims when they were not eligible at all. These are the thousands of international students who have filed refugee claims, the veracity of which has been questioned by Miller.
In October, 17,400 people claimed asylum in Canada, while in July the figure was recorded at 20,000. More than 14 thousand asylum claims were made by international students. The Immigration Minister told the Parliamentary Committee that international students may be denied the right to claim asylum during the reforms in the asylum system. The immigration minister did not provide detailed information about the new rules.
Let us tell you that the federal government has recently significantly reduced the number of permanent residents entering Canada over the next two years and tightened the rules for temporary worker permits.
