If we're just talking about the asylum and refugee system, and not about the issue of dealing with irregular border crossers, I think most European countries are looking to Canada.
There are specific pieces that are worth looking at in European countries. It's worth looking at the German experiments with return programs during the last two years. It's also worth looking at their massive investment in apprenticeship programs and housing, which have created a very successful integration process for those 40% or so of the migrants who were accepted as refugees.
The Canadian system generally works very well under its normal systems, if you discount the speed the determination process takes. A reliance on sponsorship and government-assisted resettlement refugees makes it a fairly secure system. Particularly our process of effectively turning accepted refugees into regular immigrants quickly, and then into permanent residents and citizens quickly, reduces a lot of the danger to the system that European countries have experienced where people remain refugees for life.
I would say that we need to look abroad for specific pieces, and we need to look abroad for lessons on how to reduce irregular crossings, but that's in order that our refugee system can go back to being what it should be, which is a small slice of our immigration picture.
We do not want a situation where our immigration system is depending on refugee pathways as one of its main channels. It should be 5% to 10% of our immigration picture. That's what the entire system was designed to handle and that should be the normal rate. We should not be in a situation like some European countries where we're relying on asylum as our main source of immigration. It's not a good way to run an immigration system and it's unfair to the various migrant parties as well.
