Manitoba Welcomes French-Speaking Asylum Seekers! 🇨🇦🤝

Manitoba Immigration Minister Malaya Marcelino confirmed the province’s readiness to welcome French-speaking asylum seekers.

“Manitobans are a welcoming people and would help take French-speaking asylum seekers.”

🇨🇦 CBSA processed 720 asylum claims in Manitoba from January to May 2024, federal data show.

🗣️ Premiers of other provinces stress the need to decrease asylum numbers.

🚸 Challenges:
• Increase in illegal border crossings post-pandemic.
