Greetings everyone. How is your summer clubbing? I saw some of TOTAs
in the Guvernment with Paul van Dyk several days ago and it was a
marvelous experience to me. I would like to thank you guys all
again!!! Anyway, I am currently studying on a problem about
Brazillians' entering routes to the States. Among several different
routes, I have an interest on Canadian route. I am not sure about I
have a right to write this kind of stuff in TO forum but I would
like to know what you guys think.
(" Before Canada created a visa requirement for Brazilian tourists,
an unknown number of them flew from Rio to Toronto, and then crossed
the border into the United States. When that was a viable means of
entry, a Brazillian coyote worked full-time running other Brazillians
across an international bridge that spanned a river between Ontario
and New York States." (Little Brazil. Maxine L. Margolis (P.54)))
This study is for my final paper and I mostly get my sources from a
book called Little Brazil by Maxine L. Margolis. It was published in
1994. I must say my source is old but I have to pick this book from
my professor's book list for paper. I hope you guys have great rest
days of summer and Happy Canada Day!!! |

so ... what exactly is your question?
you're talking about illegal entry to the States via Canada?
if so, Canada now has a bi-lateral agreement with the US (since the 9/11 attacks) prohibiting refugees/ asylum seekers from claiming asylum in the US if their first port of entry was Canada. claims for asylum have to be made in the first country entered - within the first 24 hrs of entry. so, if they arrived in canada first, and did not apply for asylum in Canada, the US has every right to either return (refoulement) or deport them to either Canada (which is the better choice anyways, imo..) or their country of origin.
as in the Brazilian-specific case ... for information, i think you should contact either the Brazilian Embassy in Ottawa itself, the Canadian Council for Refugees that has an extensive database in this regard (CCR), Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) and/ or the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
