Documents reveal The Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) deported only 6,322 individuals who failed their asylum claim between 2016 and November 10, 2022. 

Documents: Liberals deported only 6,322 failed asylum seekers between 2016-2022, nearly 50,000 remain 

From roughly the same time period, Jan. 2016 to Dec. 2022, a total of 336,620 individuals filed an asylum application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The data comes from the CBSA’s response to an order paper question submitted by the Opposition Conservatives. 

As reported earlier this week, about 250,000 asylum claimants are in Canada and waiting for the Canadian government to make a decision about their status. Claims are taking on average 44 months to process. Some claimants are costing the federal Liberals $80,000 each, per year, on things like housing (hotels) and food.

Moreover, nearly 50,000 failed asylum claimants remain in Canada, as reported by The Counter Signal in March, 2024.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller said on Monday that more changes are coming to the asylum system, and he is aware that many claimants aren’t legitimate. 

Nearly five million temporary permits are set to expire over the next year. Miller said he expects these individuals to “leave voluntarily.”
