This is crazy they open up the visa free for Mexico in Dec right after Trump became president! In the past the bogus refugee claim from Mexico was reason why Conservative imposed visa, now Liberals openned the floodgate again! Expect processing time for other streams to increase like crazy!

That is your opinion. 90% of refugee claims were refuted by Canada and the applicant parties returned to Mexico. However, even with a visa restriction alot of Mexicans still claim refugees status and refugees from all over the world come in and their passports have been restricted by visas, whats your point? Why don't you talk about that ? Also, what about the thousands of Canadians that retire in Mexico every year? My advice is for us to let the government do their jobs. The immigration minister said that they are ready to re impose the visa if need be for immigration violation increase. Give Mexicans a chance...

Yeah why is this crazy? I'm pretty sure our government is efficient enough to see through any unfounded refugee claims.. What are you afraid of really?

The OP mentioned fears of increased processing times (likely the OP's own) for other streams as resources are diverted to process an increase of refugee claims

Mexico is a Designated Country of Origin. This means the process is expedited since the refugee claim is most likely not going to be accepted and the applicant is going to be deported home. Also, no appeals.
