281,000 Asylum Claims in Canada | Why Is the Wait Time 4 Years?

Canada’s asylum system is under fire as the number of pending refugee claims has hit 281,000 as of March 2025 — a record-breaking high.

Is the system being abused? Is Bill C-2 enough to fix the crisis? 💬 Let us know what YOU think in the comments: Is Canada’s asylum system still fair and sustainable? 🔔 Subscribe for real-time immigration news, Express Entry updates. #CanadaImmigration #RefugeeCrisis #AsylumClaims #BillC2 #CanadaPR #IRCC #ImmigrationNews #OpenBorders #CanadianPolitics
