The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) found a whopping 324 asylum claims to be unfounded out of 107,000 refugee applications made in 2025

A federal tribunal declared a record number of refugee claims in 2025 to be fraudulent amid an unprecedented number of people claiming asylum.

In the first 11 months of 2025, the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) declared 324 asylum claims to be “manifestly unfounded,” more than any year since at least 2015.

That finding means that not only were the claims rejected, but the IRB’s staff concluded they were so baseless that applicants are precluded from appealing the board’s decision.
