Canada’s decision to lift the visa requirement for Mexican nationals has caused tension with the Biden administration as the number of migrants on both sides of the border continues to increase. Immigration Minister Marc Miller reinstated visas for Mexican citizens to address the growing number of asylum claims and the strain on Canada’s refugee system and provincial resources. The move drew criticism from U.S. officials, who expressed concerns about the abuse of the visa exemption by Mexican nationals attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. The decision to reimpose visas for Mexican citizens was made in response to pressure from Washington and to address the ongoing bilateral irritant in Canada-U.S. relations.
