Ottawa records 60 per cent spike in arrests, detentions of Canadians in United States
Ottawa said the rise came despite a 25% drop in U.S. visits by Canadians and no clear explanation for the increase.
- Global Affairs Canada's annual report tracks a 60 per cent spike in arrest and detention cases involving Canadians over the past year, despite a 25 per cent decline in visits to the country.
- While the report does not explain the increase, President Donald Trump has expanded immigration raids, and Canadians have reported facing uncomfortable questions from border officials.
- Arrests of Canadians globally rose during the reporting period, including a threefold increase in Thailand, according to the department's data.
- More Canadians are voluntarily registering with the department when traveling abroad, which helps Ottawa provide safety advice and coordinate evacuations.
- Global Affairs Canada warns that growing frequencies of wars and natural disasters are making consular cases more complex and expensive to manage.
