Immigration Minister says ‘not everyone is welcome’ to come to Canada as concerns grow about U.S. deportation plans

Summary

Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the government is ready to cooperate with the U.S. as Donald Trump enacts stricter immigration measures, stressing that not everyone is welcome in Canada and migrants must enter legally.

Concerns are rising over a potential influx of asylum seekers as Trump plans mass deportations, which could strain Canadian resources.

Immigration lawyers urge Ottawa to amend the Safe Third Country Agreement to prevent undocumented migrants from crossing illegally to claim asylum.

A Nanos poll shows most Canadians, especially in Quebec, favor reducing refugee intake due to concerns over housing and public services.
