Withdraw from Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA)
What this campaign seeks
Suspend or withdraw from the Canada-United States Safe Third Country Agreement so people can access asylum at the Canadian border rather than being turned back to the United States, a third-country transfer arrangement challenged as unsafe.
How it works
Strategic litigation up to the Supreme Court of Canada, joint statements, and public education on access to asylum and irregular border crossings such as at Roxham Road.
Where it stands
Active; renewed calls in 2025 following policy shifts
