Canada introduces bill to tighten immigration, strengthen border security

Canada's Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree on Tuesday announced that the federal government planned to introduce new legislation that would give authorities new powers to search mail, pause or cancel immigration applications, and more easily expand the role of the Canadian Coast Guard.

The bill is part of Canada’s effort to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump that Canada is doing its part to stem the flow of illicit drugs and curb irregular migration at the U.S.-Canada border.

The new bill will build on earlier Canadian measures, including round-the-clock border surveillance, and a U.S.-Canada joint strike force targeting cross-border organized crime.
