We found there were a large number of cases of enforceable removal orders that had accumulated and that existed, regardless of the number of new removals that came into force each year.
Based on the surge in asylum claims over the past three years, the CBSA expects there to be a significant increase in the number of removal orders it will have to enforce. That is indeed why we undertook this audit, to see how the CBSA is situated in terms of the information it has on which removal orders to enforce so that the accumulation of removal orders won't worsen.
