"Canada Reimposes Visa Requirement for Mexican Citizens Amid Asylum Crisis"

TL;DR Summary
Canada is reimposing the visa requirement on Mexican nationals visiting the country due to a significant increase in asylum claims, with Mexico accounting for 17% of all claims received by Canada. The decision comes after Quebec's premier urged the government to address the strain on resources caused by the influx of immigrants, and the U.S. government also encouraged action as some Mexicans have been crossing illegally into the U.S. from Canada. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador expressed regret for the decision but assured that it wouldn't lead to a breakdown in relations, while also reserving the right of reciprocity.
