CBC News - Politics - Backlog of refugee claims has grown under Conservatives

The real problem is in the intake that has grown steadily over the years, and in the exceedingly long process that claimants take advantage of to remain in Canada indefinitely. CBSA figures are quite telling: over 44,000 deportation and exclusion orders are issued every year, yet only around 6,000 actual deportations take place. So where are the rest? Some leave voluntarily, some become successful refugee claimants, and most just remain in Canada, change domicile, and try to stay below the radar. They system is not designed to deal with such large numbers ( around 25,000 new refugee claims each year), and those who "counsel" bogus refugee claimants know that the system can be gamed easily by stalling, filing applications doomed to failure, while at the same time trying to "settle" by marrying a Canadian, having a child, etc., to set in motion a chain of possible reviews that take years to complete.
