We now have the complete information for the year 2019. 
( www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/asylum-claims/asylum-claims-2019.html)
  • The number of people crossing  irregularly into Canada via Roxham Road in 2019 to  claim asylum was 16,136.    This is a decrease of 13% when compared to 2018 (18,518). 
  • The total number of people crossing irregularly into Canada in 2019 was 16,503
  • Overall the total numbers of people who sought asylum in Canada (both regular and irregular by land, sea and air and inland) was 63,830. This is an increase of 16% when compared to 2018 (55,040). Clearly this reflects the growing numbers of forcibly displaced people  which now stands at 70.8 million,  more than at any time in human history.  Of these 29.4 million are refugees and asylum seekers who have fled their homelands.  The rest are people internally displaced within their own countries.  
  • Information on the outcomes of refugee claims are found at the Immigration and Refugee Board website.  Just under 50% of all refugee claims made by people crossing irregularly were accepted at the first decision from January 2017 to September 2019.   In addition others will be accepted on appeal, on a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment or be allowed to remain under another status.
  • It's important to understand that there are wide variations by nationality. Here are the top ten countries identified with their acceptance rates:  Turkey (96%), Eritrea (90%),  Sudan (79%),  Pakistan (56%). Columbia (56%),  Angola (55%), Democratic Republic of Congo (36%),  Nigeria (26%), Haiti (24%), USA (1.4 % - these are USA born children of refugee claimants so it is not surprising it is so low, although we wonder what happens to children who are refused  if their parents are accepted. ).   The other countries (not identified on the  IRB website) had a combined acceptance rate of 69%.  ( https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/statistics/Pages/irregular-border-crossers-countries.aspx) ​
