There are 28,145 active warrants out for failed refugee claimants in Canada, new figures from the Canada Border Services Agency reveal.
In response to an order paper commission submitted by Conservative MP Brad Redekopp, the border service shed light on the volume of failed asylum seekers still in the country.
“A CBSA officer may issue a warrant for the arrest and detention of a foreign national if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe the individual is inadmissible under the IRPA and either poses a danger to the public or is unlikely to appear for an immigration process, such as a removal from Canada,” wrote the CBSA in its response.
The CBSA said there are 8,839 asylum claimants pending an eligibility decision as well as 18,684 whose claims have been denied and have an “enforceable removal order.”
Of the failed refugee claimants, 73 are currently detained. Another 12,882 are enrolled in an alternative to detention program, the majority of whom are failed refugee claimants. The Agency said that the figures are not exact because the answers were compiled in a quick time frame.
Of the inadmissible refugees, 410 are inadmissible for being convicted in Canada of a criminal offence. There are 236 deemed inadmissible because they were convicted in their country of origin with an offence also illegal in Canada.
