Canada sees surge in asylum seekers as U.S. protections expire

Canadian border officials are reporting a noticeable increase in the number of asylum seekers arriving at crossings, particularly near Montreal, as migrants’ protected status in the United States comes to an end. The shift comes in the wake of expiring U.S. immigration safeguards, prompting more individuals to seek refuge in Canada. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and arranging appropriate resources to handle the heightened influx, all while navigating the complex humanitarian and logistical challenges that this change in migration dynamics presents.
