Canada’s $1.1B Hotel Tab for Asylum Seekers Sparks Debate Over Immigration Spending

 

The Canadian government has spent a staggering $1.1 billion on hotel accommodations for asylum seekers over the past few years, according to newly released figures. The expense, which covers temporary housing for tens of thousands of migrants awaiting refugee claims, has ignited fresh debate over the sustainability and efficiency of Canada’s immigration support systems.
