Examine the Canadian immigration system and how its relaxed policies have led to a surge in asylum claims, particularly from India. This influx of immigrants, many of whom are using Canada as a stepping stone to the United States, has strained the Canadian system and created an irritant in the Canada-U.S. relationship.
