Asylum seekers from Mexico arrive in record numbers at Montreal’s Trudeau airport

Canada has seen a steady influx of asylum seekers over the past few years, with an increasing number of claims coming from Mexican citizens since the Trudeau government scrapped a visa requirement for Mexican travelers in late 2016.
