Investments in Border Security
Canada has invested $1.3 billion to strengthen border security and improve immigration integrity. This investment is part of Canada's Border Plan, which aims to minimize unnecessary border traffic, enhance detection capabilities, and safeguard against illegal crossings and non-genuine immigration claims. Some key measures include ¹:
- *Deployment of Advanced Technology*:
- *Drones*: 60 new drones deployed along the US-Canada border to enhance surveillance.
- *Black Hawk Helicopters*: Deployed to patrol the border and support surveillance efforts.
- *Surveillance Towers*: Additional towers to monitor high-risk areas effectively.
- *Advanced Detection Tools*: Mobile X-rays, handheld chemical analyzers, and artificial intelligence tools to detect contraband.
- *Enhanced Information Sharing*:
- Automated information sharing on electronic travel authorization applicants using US data.
- Expanded immigration information sharing to include US and Canadian permanent residents.
- *Reforms to Prevent Fraudulent Claims*:
- Heightened scrutiny of visitor visa applications from high-risk countries.
- Reforms to the International Student Program and Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
- New system to verify letters of acceptance directly with post-secondary institutions.
- *Combatting Transnational Crime*:
- Aerial Intelligence Task Force equipped with drones, helicopters, and counter-drone technology.
- Canadian Drug Profiling Centre to support investigations.
- Chemical Precursor Risk Management Unit to monitor and disrupt precursor flow.
These measures have already shown significant results, including ²:
- *Reduced Illegal Crossings*: From 165 per day in March 2023 to 12 per day after introducing the Safe Third Country Agreement protocol.
- *Visa Screening Success*: 97% reduction in asylum claims from Mexican citizens at airports and 72% decrease in southbound illegal crossings.
- *Ending Flagpoling*: 86% reduction in flagpoling, resulting in savings of 4,000 to 8,000 workdays for border officials.
