In Canada, a notable trend has emerged regarding the demographic makeup of Gazan Palestinian migrants, with a significant majority being men and boys. This pattern has prompted questions and concerns among citizens and officials alike. The Department of Immigration, responding to an inquiry by Conservative MP Tom Kmiec, disclosed that out of 986 Gazan applicants, the majority are males, unable to pass Israeli 'mandatory security checks'. This has been attributed to the challenges these individuals face in bypassing security measures imposed by Israeli and Egyptian authorities. Despite the Canadian government's willingness to increase the cap on permits from the initial 1,000 to an unspecified number, as suggested by Minister Marc Miller, only 14 of the applicants have successfully arrived in Canada due to stringent Israeli security checks. Meanwhile, the broader context of Canada's immigration policy is under scrutiny, with calls to adjust immigration quotas amid a housing crisis and record population growth driven by one of the world's largest immigration programs.
