Canadian officials preparing for potential flood of Mexican migrants after Trump wins presidency
Tourist visa will no longer be required for Mexican visitors as of Dec. 1

The federal government is preparing for a potential surge in Mexican migrants coming to Canada after Donald Trump's election victory, CBC News has learned.

Sources confirm high level meetings took place this week with officials at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and in other departments.

The news comes as Canada prepares to loosen rules for Mexicans to enter the country by lifting a visa requirement on Dec. 1. That restriction has been in place since 2009.

Talks on a plan to cope with a possible spike in asylum-seekers have been ongoing for some time, but were accelerated this week after Trump's surprise win.

dd I gotta feeling the good sis Canada is reconsidering the visa waiver

Tbh though, Mexico is no longer the main source of migrants to the US. It's Central America. And in order to overstay as tourists in Canada, those people (Mexicans) need to have enough money for the flight and established connections in Canada. It's harder.

I know they'll find less bigotry there though

We want immigrants. We're a rich and incredibly spacious country and have a hard time filling certain jobs in more rural areas. The farther north you go the harder it is to find people, generally.
