    CROSSING THE BORDER AT AN UNOFFICIAL ENTRY POINT TO CLAIM ASYLUM IS NOT ILLEGAL.

    To enter Canada without prior authorization for the purpose of seeking asylum is not a crime under international and Canadian law.

    Why? Because it is not always safe or even possible for a person running for his/her life to obtain proper travel documents to reach safety in another country.

      I think the bigger problem is the amount of people seeking “asylum” vs the people actually needing asylum. In both the US and Canada it is being used as a loophole.

        Do you have any kind of source or reference that indicates this is any kind of an issue?

        Is this akin to “that one guy” who fakes homelessness to scam pennies?
