Mexicans criminals choosing Canada entry instead of U.S.

Chivis for Borderland Beat-material from Reuters and Global News

Mexican criminals, cartels, economic migrants, now diverting from U.S. entry into Canada.  New passage is due to President Donald Trump’s ridged stance on illegal U.S. entry, in conjunction with Canadian visa requirement lift with Mexico.


Before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that visitors from Mexico would no longer need visas to enter Canada, border officials predicted the decision would make it easier for criminals to enter the country, newly released documents show.

In intelligence reports, officials wrote that associates of Mexican crime groups such as the ultraviolent Sinaloa cartel were already turning up in Canada and said lifting the visa requirement would “facilitate travel to Canada by Mexicans with criminal records.”

Just 0.25 per cent of the 156,000 Mexican nationals who entered Canada between 2012 and 2015 were implicated in crime, but the reports said 29 were linked to organized criminal groups, another eight had “possible links” and “likely more” had not been identified.

“These individuals were drug smugglers, human smugglers, recruiters, money launderers and foot soldiers,” the Canada Border Services Agency’s Intelligence Section wrote in a report dated April 2016, two months before Trudeau announced the visa exemption.”


Since the government dropped the visa requirement on Dec. 1, 2016, the number of Mexican citizens the CBSA has reported for criminality and security has indeed increased, according to figures released by the agency this week.

During the 2015 federal election campaign, Trudeau promised that if he was elected Mexicans would no longer need visas to visit Canada. Within days of taking office, he told Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto he would follow through.

“Lifting the visa requirement will deepen ties between Canada and Mexico and will increase the flow of travelers, ideas, and businesses between both countries,” Trudeau said in his announcement. Mexicans still need visas to work and study in Canada.

Internal documents obtained by Global News under the Access to Information Act show the prime minister made the decision despite intelligence reporting that anticipated the likely result would be an increased criminal presence among visitors.

The intelligence reports said more than 300 criminals with Mexican citizenship had been identified by the CBSA from 2012 to 2015 and reported as inadmissible — the process that bars foreign citizens from entering Canada and can lead to their deportation.

“Should the visa requirement on Mexican nationals be lifted, the number of Mexican nationals travelling to Canada is expected to rise, which will increase the number of potentially inadmissible individuals,” according to one of the reports.

Another report said a study conducted the year before the visa requirement was put in place had identified abuse of Canada’s refugee program by Mexican migrants, the use of fraudulent Mexican passports by crime groups and the presence of criminals among Mexican travelers.

“These same problems may resurface once the visa requirement is lifted,” it said.

The crime groups included the Sinaloa organization of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, as well as the La Familia Michoacana, Jalisco New Generation and Los Zetas cartels. In addition, some were working for Latin American street gangs and theft rings, according to the reports.

By 2017 first quarter, illegal entries into Canada had tripled, already topping 2016 totals.

Per the new rules, rather than a visa, under Trudeau's administration, Mexicans are now only required to have a so-called Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) which can be purchased online for CAD $7.

Flight bookings from Mexico to Canada also swelled 90 percent in January and February versus the same period in 2016, according to the travel analysis company ForwardKeys, which reviews all major travel agency bookings. It is unclear what percentage of those bookings were made by people looking to work illegally in Canada.

Marcela Gonzalez's telephone and Facebook page may be a good indicator. The immigration paralegal in Toronto used to receive four calls a month from Mexicans in Canada, before Trump's election and the new visa-free travel.

Now she says she gets "four in less than 10 minutes" from people wanting to know how to get work permits and permanent residency.

Once in Canada, undocumented migrants will discover no social services awaiting them.  Not even in cases of life threatening health circumstances

    3. 2:04 AM: You don't have a clue about Canada. I doubt you could even find it on a map. Vancouver, British Columbia has the highest number of heroin addicts in the world. I should know, I worked for years in the Downtown East Side, and addicts used to shoot up sitting on the large rear bumper of my truck. We had to get needle disposal bottles from the city health department because old needles were either all over the alleys, stuck in wooden poles, or dumped in the manholes we had to pump and work in. "...hard dope has never existed in Canada?" Yeah, sure.

    4. I see a change to this entry in the near future.
      Better yet a hot topic in the next Canada election.
      I do not believe any country will allow such a high fluctuation of immigration in their country without restrictions.

    5. There is one thing you can count on and that is criminals will always find a way. They will find a way to break out of prison, traffic dope, kill their enemy and find a way into this country. Wall or no wall the bodies and the rope will keep coming. There will be tunnels dug. There will be an extreme number of cases where BP agents or other law enforcement are on cartel payroll. I doubt very seriously 45th will even get the backing to build the wall. The right wingers can't even agree on appealling or changing the AHCA.

    1. Wrong! I'm Canadian and as it stands now refugees have to live in a government refugee building which they are not allowed to leave. They get fed, clothed and services while they await their answer, which will be at most 30 days. Pre 2012 i agree, you get welfare, services, cheap apartments etc.. those days are well gone now.

  4. OFFICIAL: Mexicans no longer need a visa to visit Canada and claim refugee status!! Marxist-Islamist Trudeau reverses XPM Harper sane and correct policy!
    The visa requirement was initially put in places as over 12K Mexicans were arriving annually in Canada and declaring refugee status! And many were not even from Mexico but used Mexico as a jumping-off point to gain access to Canada! Human traffickers and drug traffickers took advantage of the no-visa requirement!
    Refugee Status In Canada means many years of free $$$$ (12000pesos monthly per adult and more if you have children), free medical which includes medical operations (need a heart or lung transplant or fitted for a prosthesis), free eye care and glasses, free schooling for the kids and free dental! No hables ingles!? No se preoccpe!
    Ingles escuela gratis tambien! And after you learn English if you wish to go to school or college it is free, too! And the cherry on the cake Canada will pay for you lawyer to fight for your right to stay in Canada!
    If you can prove your life is in threat for being gay or on Cartel Hit list( la tuna residents) or an abused child prostitute or an abused woman with children you have a good chance of being allowed to stay forever. Folks like Dr Mirelles or threatened Journalists would likely be accepted as legitimate refugees. If after many years, perhaps 10 to exhaust all appeal, you are refused to stay, Canada pays your airfare back to Mexico. However, many Mexicans just go undercover and stay!
    Why would Canada implement this insanely generous offer to refugees? The Liberal Trudeau Government is basically a clone of the Hugo Chavez/Maduro style of Venezuelan communism. Trudeau, basically a dictator, formed a majority gvt with only 38% of the vote. There is just enough of the voting population who reap the benefits of the Socialist largesse for Trudeau to get 38% to form a virtual dictatorship. Like Chavez Trudeau is destroying the oil and gas sector and private business opting for growth through a Socialist welfare state. 100,000s of government jobs are created to support, give care and nanny--judges, welfare workers, doctors nurses, psychologists, police, prison guards, teachers etc etc.
    However, like Venezuela is experiencing, it comes with an economic cost. Trudeau gvt is now running federal deficits of 35 billion annually--a huge amount for a population of 33 million. For now Trudeau can get away with this debt, however, like Venezuela, when the next economic downturn comes it will be a huge economic and social problem.
    Why don't Canadians complain? The R word. Anyone who complains is called a racist! It works everytime!
    Canada is taking over 100K Muslims annually, so, why not Christian Mexicans. Vast majority of Canadians would overwhelmingly take Mexicans before Muslims. Most Canadians who have visited Mexico have had positive interactions with the Mexican people.
    Anyway, if you want to visit and enjoy a vacation in Canada or claim refugee status very soon all you'll need to do is book a ticket!

    5. 404 is right, however, the province of Saskatchewan does not give free legal aid.
      10000s of Muslims have been walking across Canadian borders and the RCMP carry their baggage. They make refugee claims and are fingerprinted and released with a promise to appear at their hearings.
      Then it is freebie time!
      The key is you don't make a claim at a regular border crossing as they will be returned under safe country policy to prevent country shopping. So, arrive from America or mexico at a regular vorder entry to claim refugee status and you will most likely be returned!

    6. Essential health care for refugee claimants in Canada is usually paid for by the Interim Federal Health Program, commonly referred to as IFHP. IFHP is administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
      All IFHP beneficiaries are eligible for coverage from the date that the certificate of eligibility is issued by an IRCC or Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer.
      Who is covered?
      IFHP provides limited, temporary coverage of health care benefits for eligible groups of refugees who are not eligible for provincial or territorial health insurance.
      To be eligible for the IFH Program, an individual must not be a Canadian citizen, and must belong to one of the following groups:
      Resettled Refugees (considered Convention Refugees Abroad). Note: Syrian refugees who have recently come to Canada under the Government-Assisted Refugees (GAR) Program are considered Resettled Refugees
      refugees
      Protected Persons
      Refugee claimants
      Victims of human trafficking
      Detainees (individuals detained under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act)
      Types of coverage
      All eligible refugees are entitled to the following types of coverage: basic, supplemental and prescription drug coverage.
      1. Basic coverage
      Basic coverage is similar to what Canadians receive through their provincial or territorial health insurance plans. Coverage includes:
      in-patient and out-patient hospital services
      services provided by medical doctors, registered nurses and other health care professionals licensed in Canada, including pre- and post-natal care
      laboratory, diagnostic and ambulance services
      2. Supplemental coverage
      Supplemental coverage is similar to what provincial and territorial governments provide to Canadians receiving social assistance. Coverage includes:
      limited dental and vision care
      home care and long-term care
      services provided by allied health care practitioners including clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, speech language therapists, and physiotherapists
      assistive devices, medical supplies and equipment, including:
      orthopedic and prosthetic equipment
      mobility aids
      hearing aids
      diabetic supplies
      incontinence supplies
      oxygen equipment
      3. Prescription drug coverage
      This coverage includes most prescription medications and other products listed in provincial and territorial public drug plans.

    7. According to the Canadian Council for Refugees, government-assisted refugees can get some help through the federal Resettlement Assistance Program.
      That support is generally available for up to a year. The maximum amount provided is $25,000 per family. That includes a one-time start up payment to help refugees establish a household in Canada, as well as monthly income support, a spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada said. 
      The monthly payments depend on the size of the family and social assistance rates in each province.
      Citizenship and Immigration Canada estimates that an individual in Ontario would receive roughly $2,065 in a one-time start-up allowance, to cover things such as basic household needs, furniture, winter clothing and telephone installation if a landline is chosen. The estimated monthly assistance to a refugee in Ontario is $768, but the department notes that individual circumstances vary and so do the monthly payments.
      The government also helps refugees find permanent housing, learn how to set up a bank account and register for various federal and provincial programs.
      Once the Federal welfare assistance is finished, the financial burdern is then shifted to the provinces--which automatically payup!

    9. Food Banks can't handle the growing demand from their clients. Of course, many refugees get free food from Food Banks.
      Poverty--by Canadian standards-- and Food Bank usage in Canada is growing by double digit rates annually!

    3. What assistance can refugees get in Canada?
      The Canadian government has several programs to help refugees resettle in Canada.
      Refugee claimants, Convention refugees and persons in need of protection have certain rights and may be able to access services, such as health care and education.
      There are also several programs to help you get settled in Canada, including:
      Health Care
      Financial Assistance
      Settlement Assistance
      Health Care
      Some refugees and refugee claimants are eligible for the Interim Federal Health (IFH) program. The IFH program pays for some medical services after you arrive in Canada and until you are covered by a provincial health care plan.

  12. As a 34 year old white Texan, I'm really ashamed of the general tone in the comments by racist Americans on this blog in general lately. And why are the moderators not deleting these comments? Openly racist, uninformed comments, have no use on a crime documentation blog for Mexico. Keep in mind white Americans, This is an information resource where there are not other options for Mexican citizens. They don't deserve to be talked about in the ways they are being on this website regularly. The most effective use of this website would be by people who live in the Region's being talked about. They don't deserve to read in the comments negative things about them and their countrymen for no reason. If you are educated on the particular topic or have inside information that others do not have, share it in a respectful manner. Regardless of the country you were born in, if you are here just to talk bad about Mexican citizens are Mexican people, go to a right-wing news blog instead. Moderators, if you would like a white person to more heavily go through and delete racist comments by other white people, I would be happy to volunteer to help. If you can reply to this comment and tell me where to contact you via email or whatever, I will. Thank you!

    1. If you look around a little you will see several email addresses on this page to contact us.

      The fact that you feel the need to distinguish yourself as "a white texan, not once, but even in closing is a sign we would not want your assistance, placing people in groups is racist in of itself.

      It is ignorant to point towards out conservatives as holding the racist flag, racism itself does not discriminate while aligning itself.

      The racist comments we received are equally from all cultural and racial origins. If there is a comment that is questionable of why it got through, send it to me. I will take a look.

      Perhaps you should create a blog of your own
