Record Surge: Why Thousands Of Indians Are Seeking Asylum in Canada | Asylum Tactics | N18G

Описание: Indian asylum applications in Canada hit a record high last year. This year’s Indian asylum rate is climbing even faster than before. Indians now claim LGBTQ persecution instead of political persecution stories. Many Indian students in Canada use LGBTQ claims to extend their stay. Some Indians apply for asylum right after landing at Canadian airports. LGBTQ asylum claims face fewer questions and are processed more easily. Asylum is seen as a backup after failing study or work permit routes. Canadian officials now reject most political persecution claims from Indian nationals. Political asylum claims from Indians are rarely considered credible by Canadian authorities. 16,800 Indian asylum claims were filed in the first half of last year. The second quarter of last year saw a 500 percent surge in Indian claims. 2,290 Indian students filed asylum claims—vastly outnumbering other nationalities. A total of 5,500 foreign student claims have been filed this year, mainly from Indian nationals. Canada’s new residency cap could further boost asylum application numbers.
