Child claimants are interviewed on arrival by officers of the Canada Border Services Agency. If the children show up at Pearson Airport with no documents or anyone to meet them, Peel Children’s Aid Society is called. Society spokesperson Whitney Rodricks said child-care workers are called about 12 times yearly to help children at Pearson. […] IRB spokesman Robert Gervais said there’s no information available on child claimants. “The IRB has no available statistics regarding unaccompanied minors requesting refugee status,” Gervais said by e-mail, adding an Access to Information Request is required “to permit the IRB to see if we could compile these statistics for a given period of time.”
