However, there has been an increase in the number of people detained after entering Canada.

The number of immigrants stopped from entering the US from Canada has dropped to its lowest level since May 2022, according to data from US Customs and Border Protection.

However, there has been an increase in the number of people detained after entering Canada. According to the report, US Border Patrol officers apprehended 481 individuals at the Canada-US border in February, down from 616 in January and a multi-year high of 3,601 in June of last year.

An official stated that under an agreement between the two countries to combat illegal migration, both Canada and the US are sending back asylum seekers, which has contributed to the decline in the number of people attempting to cross the border.

Meanwhile, data from the Canada Border Services Agency reveals that Canadian authorities caught and deported 126 people attempting to cross from the US to Canada in February, marking the highest number for that month in a year.
