The Aporia · Canada to ramp up deportations of illegal immigrants

Canada's federal government has implemented changes to its asylum process aimed at accelerating the deportation of illegal immigrants.

New regulations require applicants to submit completed applications within 60 days of arrival, with a possible one-time extension of 30 days if requested.
