I think the facts speak for themselves. A lot of the people who have applied for refugee status from within Canada are people who will have their temporary status expire. We have had a huge spike from citizens of Mexico. We did away with the visitor visa requirement for Mexican citizens a second time in 2016 up until 2024. It was a mistake. It happened in the early 2000s as well, and it led to a big spike in inland claims.
The biggest number of inland claims we're seeing now are from Indian nationals, and many of them came here under a temporary status. You do have to question what the underlying motivation is.
