López Obrador affirms that Canada is concerned about the increase in Mexicans seeking asylum in that country. "[Tr Trudeau] raised it with me, that they had that concern and we agreed that the foreign ministers of Canada and Mexico were going to address this matter," AMLO assured.
From January to September 2023, people from Mexico reached the highest number of asylum requests –17,500–, a number much higher than that of Haitians, who are the second group in asylum requests, with 8,500.
