Removal Orders: Canada and Deportation Orders

removal orders: But the government's own numbers tell a different story, according to CTV. Newly released figures show Canadian officials have removed only a handful of the hundreds of irregular migrants who arrived in Canada while they were already facing deportation orders from the United States. Over the weekend, Blair created a hornet's nest of criticism when he said in an interview that the overwhelming majority of asylum seekers who have crossed irregularly into Canada over the last 21 months have left the country. The numbers, tabled recently in the House of Commons, show nearly 900 irregular migrants intercepted by the Mounties in Canada since April 2017 were already under removal orders issued by American authorities. Meanwhile, the overall number of irregular migrants who have been deported or removed from Canada also remains low. As of late June, only six of these people had been removed from Canada.
