Yeah, if 500,000 people currently spread out all over the U.S. decide they're going to show up at the Canadian border over the next few months and demand asylum, there is little we can do to prevent this.
I know in Europe at one point they tried messaging that said "do not come - you will be turned away and have no chance of staying".
Not sure how effective this was.
I guess only time will tell us how big the wave will be.
We can prep for larger numbers of refugee claimants (which I am sure Citizenship and Immigration Canada is already doing to some degree) but such preparations can also be a waste of resources if people don't show up.
