- What role does the Liberal government play in this issue?
- The Liberal government bears responsibility for the crisis, and needs to acknowledge the problem and take appropriate action, including a comprehensive plan to reduce the backlog and reform the system.
- What is a proposed solution to reduce the backlog of refugee claims?
- Increasing resources for the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) is necessary, but a more effective solution involves prioritizing the processing of new claims to reduce wait times and deter spurious applications.
- What is the main incentive for making a refugee claim, even if the case is weak?
- The incentive for making a refugee claim, even a dubious one, is the long wait time for adjudication, potentially lasting years. This allows individuals to remain in Canada while their claim is processed.
- Who is responsible for the problem of increasing refugee claims, according to the article?
- Immigration consultants may be exploiting the situation, but the root cause is the government's failure to address the system's inefficiencies and growing backlog of cases.
- What is the main reason for the increase in refugee applications by international students?
- The surge in refugee applications by international students is primarily due to the massive backlog of cases within the Canadian immigration system, which has grown significantly under the Liberal government.
