Canada Becomes Fifth Largest Recipient of Asylum Seekers with 146,800 New Claims in 2023

✅In 2023, Canada received 146,800 new asylum claims, up from 94,000 the previous year, ranking as the fifth highest recipient country according to a UNHCR report. Only the United States, Germany, Egypt, and Spain received more claims. This is the first time Canada has ranked in the top five in at least six years, rising from ninth place in 2022. Despite measures to curb refugee entries, such as closing Quebec’s Roxham Road and expanding the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S., Canada faces a growing global displacement crisis, with the number of forcibly displaced people rising to 120 million in 2023. .
