The Canadian government estimates that up to 500,000 persons could be residing in Canada illegally, compared to the 68,000 military personnel safeguarding the country.

Over seven times more undocumented migrants exist in Canada than active military personnel 

This leaves Canadian soldiers outnumbered by illegal migrants by over seven times. 

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has been chronically understaffed for almost the entirety of the Trudeau Government’s time in power. Even with the federal government allowing non-citizens and permanent residents to enlist in the military since 2022, the problem remains to this day. 

Drawing on similar concerns in the UK, Reform Party member Zia Yusuf recently said that “the number of military age males who entered the UK illegally exceeded the total available soldiers to the British army.”

While the UK has specific demographic data like age on migrants, Canadian authorities have failed to produce similar data for public viewing. 

However, documents reveal that the Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) has enforced fewer deportations than the amount of migrants that have been lost under its watch. 

Additionally, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship department (IRCC) admitted last year that 5 million temporary visa holders will lose their legal status between September of last year and December of this year. 

The consequences of mass immigration and illegal migration into Canada has also presented security challenges to the US, with 21,000 migrants caught crossing illegally into the US from the northern border with Canada in 2024 alone. 

Countless more migrants have crossed into the US from Canada who have not been caught, including those deemed national security threats by US intelligence agencies. 

The border situation has inspired Trump to go after Canada with threats of tariffs and remarks of annexation through continued economic pressure. 

Along with a souring US-Canada relationship, mass immigration into Canada has increased housing costs, risen crime, and created cultural challenges that have made the idea of mass deportations more popular in Canada than ever before.
