With Trump’s sweeping deportation plan announced, Canada readies for a migrant influx.

With Donald Trump’s announcement of a sweeping deportation initiative, Canada is bracing for a surge in migrants crossing its borders. Dubbed “the largest deportation project in history,” Trump’s plan has sent shockwaves through migrant communities in the U.S., leading many to head north in search of asylum.

Canada, anticipating this influx, has recently tightened its Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States. Under this agreement, Canada now has the authority to turn away asylum seekers entering from the U.S., deeming the U.S. a “safe third country” for potential refugees. This policy aims to deter those who might use unofficial border points—such as Roxham Road, a notorious crossing site—to enter Canada without formal documentation.

As Trump confirms his intention to deploy the National Guard to enforce these deportations, the anticipation of stricter U.S. immigration controls has migrants seeking faster routes to Canada. Canadian officials have warned that the closer Trump’s inauguration gets, the more significant the migrant wave may become.
