World Counterparts: Refugee Claims

High Commissioner Dept: Martin Collacott says Canada is a generous and giving country, which tends to accept many more refugees than its Western world counterparts, according to CTV. "And even if you're turned down, the chances are we won't be able to remove you. We remove a few, but we've had people who have been turned down 20 years ago, but are still appealing." Tamil migrants are making the choice to come to Canada because it is seen as "the easiest mark in the world" for prospective refugees of any background, says Ottawa's former High Commissioner to Sri Lanka. "We accept about 50 per cent of people who manage to reach our soil and make refugee claims. The average for other countries is around 15 per cent, so your chances of getting accepted in Canada are much greater," Collacott told 's Canada AM from Vancouver on Thursday morning. As reported in the news.
