Already “overwhelmed by asylum claims from irregular migrants crossing the U.S. border, the Immigration and Refugee Board is fast-tracking” refugees from selected countries. Those countries are: “Afghanistan, Burundi, Egypt, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Venezuela and Yemen.”
Over 26,000 illegals have crossed the border between 2017 and 2018, and only 1% of them have been removed. Most are Nigerians.
There is no accountability, and no assurances to Canadians from the Trudeau government about assimilation plans, vetting procedures and potential security and safety issues — clearly the Canadian government has learned no lessons from the crisis in Europe.
“Ottawa begins fast-tracking asylum claims from selected countries,” by Nicholas Keung, Toronto Star, February 3, 2019:
Overwhelmed by asylum claims from irregular migrants crossing the U.S. border, the Immigration and Refugee Board is fast-tracking “less complex” cases from selected countries.
On Tuesday, refugee judges began assessing claims under what is known as a file-review process — meaning a decision is made based on submissions from claimants — without a hearing — and a short-hearing process, where there are few disputable issues.
“These new instructions are examples of initiatives recently put in place to slow the growth of the inventory and wait times for claimants,” refugee board chairman Richard Wex told the Star. “By matching our efforts with the complexity of each claim, we are using our resources more effectively, which will result in more refugee claim decisions.”
The latest statistics show the board has more than 73,000 outstanding claims and the wait time for a hearing now hovers at around 24 months. Many of the claims are from asylum seekers who came through the U.S.-Canada border since late 2015 after U.S. President Donald Trump came into the office with a mandate to crack down on illegal migrants.
In December, the board started triaging the claims based on two newly created lists of countries and claims. In total, 25 refugee judges have been assigned to the new effort.
To qualify for the file-review process, a claimant must be from one of 14 countries: Afghanistan, Burundi, Egypt, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Venezuela and Yemen.
However, not every claim from these countries will be automatically expedited.
For instance, only those Saudi Arabian claims alleging persecution based on gender or religious sect can be assessed without a hearing. For asylum seekers from Libya, claims must involve corruption, extortion, kidnapping or threat of kidnapping by militias.
Only some claims from 11 countries are recommended for short hearings: sexual orientation persecution in the Bahamas, Barbados, Iran, Russia, Rwanda and Venezuela; fleeing criminality and corruption in Nigeria, Peru, Saint Vincent and St. Lucia; and threats in Djibouti due to one’s political opinion and activism…..

Proud CANADIANS have one more chance maybe our last chance to vote (shiny pony) Turdeau and his muslim loving government out of office this year.
Ferdinand (@StFerdinandIII) says
No fast tracking of Christians. Just Moslems and Caudillo Venezuelan socialists. Kumbaya.
Then there will be the endless chain migration of family – cousins, second cousins, third cousins, 3 generations of relations all piling into Canada.
Then the fake news MSM and Ministry of Immigration Truth -run by a Hussein, or an Ahmed – will tell the peasants that 95% of the Muslims are working, contributing, paying taxes and using their average of 4 university degrees and 11 languages to great effect, making Canada a country of diverse strength. None of the chain migration is on welfare, there is no crime and after all, Muhammadanism was an essential element of Canadiana stretching back to 1867….
Meanwhile the call of the Muezzin and the shouts of Allahu Akhbar and demands for Sharia and that Canada and all Canadians should submit, proceeds apace, right on plan.
Jayme says
We have a well know reporter that says hiring muslim’s before Canadians is the right move and is diversity.

Coonie says
Stop Ferdinand, it scares me… but I know you’re right!!
Renate says
You can see the reasoning, though. Trudeau’s just packing them in there. That’s the only way he’ll win the next election because no Canadian in his right mind would vote Liberal in the next election.
Dawn says
Mostly from the middle east countries! Hmmmm ! Muslims that won’t assimilate to our laws seems suspicious to me .
Malcolm Jackson says
Trudeau importing his voters into Canada just as the Labour party has and is doing in the UK.

ALP in Australia also, Traitors to the Citizens of their Countries and all Civilisations, add merkel, macron
Rosie Barnes says
Most crossing the border in 2017/18 were from Nigeria – supposedly “fleeing criminality and corruption”. There is barely a country in black Africa or the Muslim world that ISN’T rife with criminality and corruption; not because of any outside interference, but because they are are home to the two most backward and violent cultures on Earth: black African and Muslim. The two least compatible with ordered, democratic societies like that of Canada.
Something else the “open borders” brigade fail to mention – the genuine poor and desperate people of the world struggle to survive on a few dollars a day, and are trapped by that corruption and criminality with no hope of escape. Any migrant/refugee/asylum seeker reaching North America will have paid THOUSANDS of dollars in air fares, or, more likely, to people smugglers. THEY ARE NOT THE WORLD’S POOR. The vast majority are economic migrants looking for an easy life they know from access to the internet (and others already there) is waiting in foolish “diversity” obsessed countries like Canada and Britain. If it was truly about freedom and safety, they would have sought asylum in one of the many safe countries they passed through.

Suicidal insanity.
Victoria says
I’ m 89. I immigrated into the United states from Canada in 1949. I’ve lived through the best years of both countries. Thank God I won’t have to live long enough to witness the demise of freedom, the rise of the Caliphate, the acceptance of socialism or the horror as these two once great freedoms sink into history. Are there enough sane people to stop this disaster?. Are there any leaders still alive?
canada1950 says
I find your response completely true. I am almost 70 and have never seen Canada in such dire straights. I was voting age when old man Trudeau was PM and never voted for him, and have never ever or ever will vote Liberal. The old man started the demise of Canada and his offspring is finishing it. To answer your question no I don’t think there is any leaders still alive, and that is what I fear for my grandchildren. Voting Liberal is voting for the complete destruction of Canada. All I can say is God help us!
Grace Friesen says
Agree, 100%!!!
Dawne says
Most leaders are just concerned about strengthening their electoral base. It will be a negative spiral of immigration leading to immigrants voting for socialists to more immigration. I am an ordinary citizen and am getting very concerned about the long term future. For myself, things will probably be civilised enough for the rest of my lifetime (short), but for my children? Where can one go to get away from these terrible policies? Is there any sane leader?
Daniel says
Where can one go to get away from these terrible policies? Don’t laugh, but the answer is Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, or one of the Eastern European countries. I live in Moldova now. Mostly Orthodox Christians – lovely weather and lovely people.
Tom says
Trudeau Liberal policy. A pilot program in preparation for the full fledged UN Compact on Migration.

…clearly the Canadian government has learned no lessons from the crisis in Europe.

umm-m-m … i have to differ here. they have *indeed* learned from eurabia – that the people who elected them, like their stupid neighbors to the south, stupidly believe that they live in a real republic, where the people running the government actually believe pretty much the same things that the people who elected them believe. in eurabia, the left were profoundly lucky that the electorate trusted them, and continued to buy their bulls**t, even as murder and chaos in the streets ramped up. in canada, the government can therefore rest assured that if they put a rush on importing as many muslims as possible, the electorate may not notice, may even approve of their “generosity,” and will not begin to complain until enough pious muslims have been brought in to guarantee the collapse of civilization, as will be happening soon in eurabia.
my suggestion to my freedom-loving friends to the north is that they OBEY THE LAW, set aside shelf-stable food and water, and buy weapons and ammunition. once martial law is declared, the roundups will begin, and the civil war, initially between pious muslims and the hard left, will begin soon after. be like the boy scouts used to be and BE PREPARED!
gravenimage says
With all respect, I don’t think that Canadian patriots should keep silent, hoping they can defeat the Canadian military at some point when the country has been invaded with hordes of Muslims. Speak out *now*.
Tom says
If the French can do it so can Canadians. Apathy, the silent nation killer.
terra nova says
Excuse me Dawn, “suspicious” you wrote…….. Where have you been for the last 10 years?
Every day I keep wondering about people, who don’t have a clue what is happening and happened in this world.
If you became only suspicious, then there is not much hope for this world. Wake , pls wake up and smell the coffee !!!
infidel says
Looks like THE TURD is getting more and more insane by the day!! As if the lazy violent and good for nothing Muslim refugees that are already infesting Canada are not enough, he wants more of them in and to whom he can be a saint and get their bloc votes in return at the cost of the hard working Canadian tax payer.. robbing Peter to pay a very undeserving Pan who hates Peter with a vengeance. Vow!! mind boggling indeed… Canada is sure headed for a massive civil unrest…

Rufluc says
It never ceases to amaze me why the people of the West vote for ultra liberal lefties like Trudeau when they know that as soon as they are in power, they immediately set a course to destroy the country and its people they are sworn to protect. It never used to be like this, so what has changed?
Could it be the fact that more females are now voting, and instead of voting for sound policies that are truly in the interests of the country, they instead just vote for someone that is just ‘eye candy’? I believe there is a lot of truth in this assertion from what I’ve read in the past.
So, when the country is eventually overun by the third world heathens that this leftist idiot is allowing in, in their thousands, and many then embark on their mass raping sprees (which as we all know WILL happen because their religion tells them too plus the fact we have benefit of hindsight), these same women will be the first to wail and moan about the mass sexual attacks on them that will inevitably follow as sure as night follows day.
Daniel says
Hi Canada – American here. When are your next elections? How soon until you can vote Trudeau out? In the US, things are on a knife edge. President Trump is the only leader we have who actually has a spine. Hopefully another younger Trump style leader will materialize in the near future. Pray for us!
