Campaign aims to combat misinformation about asylum process
Canada  is 260,000 asylum delays, suggests accelerated rejections
TORONTO, Dec 2 -  After touting itself as one of the  world's most welcoming countries  for Canadians, Canada is launching a global online  advertising campaign  to warn asylum seekers that  filing a claim is  difficult. The C$250,000 ($178,662)  ads will run through March in 11 languages, including Spanish, Urdu, Ukrainian, Hindi and Tamil, the immigration department told Reuters.  The ads are part of a broader shift in tone by Prime Minister Justin  Trudeau's unpopular government on immigration and an effort to  curb asylum claims.
Immigrants have been blamed for high housing prices,  though some experts  say that's a simplistic explanation, and polls show a growing number of Canadians  believe the country  is too  welcoming to newcomers. The four-month campaign is  expected to cost a third of the total  spent on similar  ads in the previous seven  years. Search queries such as  "how to  apply for asylum in  Canada" and  "refugee in Canada" will  show sponsored content titled  "Canada's Asylum System –  Facts About Asylum," the  department said.
"Seeking asylum in Canada is not easy.  "There are strict  criteria to qualify.  Educate yourself before  making a life-changing  decision," one ad  reads. Canada has long been  considered a welcoming  country for newcomers.  Today, its leaders are  cracking down on immigration and  seeking to  force out temporary residents and prevent people fleeing U.S. President-elect Donald Trump from  seeking asylum.
