New Canada-U.S. border directive restores some asylum rules suspended by shutdown
Reading now: 146
The federal government is restoring exemptions for certain asylum claimants under the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) that a recent coronavirus border shutdown deal with the U.S.
had effectively eliminated. At the same time though, they are tightening up another element of the rules for one category of irregular border crossers.
A federal directive posted Monday effectively restored elements of the STCA to how they had been before the unprecedented border shutdown went into effect last month.
That shutdown barred all non-essential travel across the border and authorized Canada to return irregular border crossers to the United States.
