What’s behind Quebec’s surge in asylum seekers from Bangladesh?

There’s been a surge in the number of asylum seekers from Bangladesh to Quebec in recent months.

If the current rate continues, the province is due to receive more than four times the number of people seeking refuge from that country compared to last year.

Global's Phil Carpenter spoke to Bangladeshi Montrealer’s to find out why this is happening and what their concerns are for the future of their home country.

Canadians deserve a referendum on immigration and population growth. This is our home. Give us a meaningful say over who gets to live in our home.

So happy the chose QC
Most will be deported because QC has said they have a strict limit as of 2023
Under Cons before 2015...we had a quota system and people paid to immigrate
Now under Trudeau its like we take anyone for whatever reason
that is why standards are falling in this country

Why do they always want to come to Canada more than any other country?

Accepting more Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 families, less Chinese, to find new lives in Canada 🇨🇦 not only makes sense in terms of national security but also in morals.

[rosariadigiovanni]
