Overview of the Canada-United States Safe Third Country Agreement / Madalina Chesoi and Robert Mason. : YM32-2/2020-70E-PDF
"Canada's cooperation with the United States of America (U.S.) on matters relating to people claiming refugee protection has been a subject of significant debate over the past several decades. This paper provides an overview of the Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America for cooperation in the examination of refugee status claims from nationals of third countries, commonly referred to as the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA). It examines the fundamental aspects of the STCA, the historical and international context of the safe third country concept, and the legal challenges that the STCA has faced since its implementation. It also considers potential changes to the agreement in light of recent increases in irregular border crossings, the temporary border closure during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a July 2020 decision by the Federal Court of Canada that found the STCA to be unconstitutional"--Introduction, page 1.
