Asylum seekers from Mexico arrive in record numbers at Montreal’s Trudeau airport
Canada has seen a steady influx of asylum seekers over the past few years, with an increasing number of claims coming from Mexican citizens since the Trudeau government scrapped a visa requirement for Mexican travelers in late 2016. The unofficial "Roxham Road" border crossing south of Montreal was closed last winter to manage the flow. But as Gloria Henriquez reports, Quebec processed more than 25,000 asylum claims at the airport in 2023 — more than double the amount in 2022.
