Several Canadian cities have experienced an increasing influx of refugees and asylum seekers in recent months, prompting local governments and federal authorities to take action to build or prepare temporary housing to accommodate these newcomers.

These accommodations include gymnasiums, unused schools, and other emergency facilities, along with the use of hotels as a temporary solution in some cases. The Canadian government, through these measures, aims to meet the needs of the growing number of refugees and provide them with safe housing, especially with the arrival of winter.

These measures reflect a commitment to Canada's principles of welcoming refugees, but they face criticism due to the mounting pressure on infrastructure and social services in major cities such as Toronto and Montreal. Reports indicate that many asylum seekers are arriving in Canada via the US border, leading to additional challenges for the government in managing the flow of refugees and providing sufficient resources for them.

The issue continues to be raised at the political level, with calls for the federal government to provide more support to the cities and provinces affected by this significant influx.
