Joel Sandaluk was interviewed on CTV’s YourMorning to discuss how renewed U.S. deportation initiatives under Donald Trump could affect Canada’s immigration and refugee system.
Increased immigration enforcement in the added states may not have the same impact in Canada as it has in the past
During the interview, Joel discussed the potential impact of increased deportation efforts in the United States on asylum claims in Canada, including the possibility of more individuals seeking protection by crossing the Canada–U.S. border. He also addressed irregular border crossings, including the former Roxham Road crossing in Quebec, and whether Canada should reconsider the Safe Third Country Agreement in light of changing U.S. immigration policies.
Joel regularly provides legal analysis on significant developments in Canadian immigration and refugee law, offering practical insight into the legal and policy issues shaping Canada’s immigration system.
