  • CBC News has learned that as Canada's acceptance rate of refugee claims ballooned in the last five years, people from Iran and Turkey had the highest acceptance rate at more than 95 per cent. Immigration lawyers say the high acceptance is partly because people are fleeing their government and also because of a two-tiered refugee claims system that means people from these countries don't get scrutinized as much.

The video from MSN Canada discusses why Canada accepts a significant number of refugee claims from Turkey and Iran. It highlights that many individuals from these countries are fleeing political persecution, human rights abuses, and economic instability. The video explains that Canada's refugee policy is designed to offer protection to those in need, with a particular focus on those escaping oppressive regimes. It also touches on the vetting process for asylum seekers, ensuring that claims are legitimate, and notes the cultural and linguistic diversity that these refugees bring to Canada, enriching the nation's multicultural fabric.
