Abstract

Canadians often assume that seeking asylum in Canada is a quick and easy route to permanent residency and citizenship. Nothing could be further from the truth. With its emphasis on due process, the asylum claim system is a complex machine whose wheels turn slowly. It is managed by a number of bureaucracies which offer different pathways through the system based on the particulars of the claim. The current cumbersome set-up is not conducive to quick resolution of asylum claims, nor is it capable of responding efficiently to sudden, large influxes of claims over a short time.
