This makes immigration to Canada easier for migrants claiming asylum. If you cross from the USA and apply for asylum in Canada (even if you entered the USA illegally and even if you are a criminal there), you cannot be deported back to USA.
The Court ruled that since certain refugees "are immediately and automatically imprisoned by US authorities" after custody is transferred from Canada, Canadian authorities are complicit in the violation of "the spirit and objective of the STCA and are a violation of the rights guaranteed by section 7 of the (Charter of Rights and Freedoms)."
This court has ruled, and in practice, has changed how asylum applications will be decided. Canada is not legally allowed to be complicit in actions that are illegal in Canada that take place outside of Canada.
