The Safe Third Country Agreement is an agreement between the governments of Canada and the United States to better manage the flow of refugee claimants at the shared land border. Under the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, persons seeking refugee protection must make a claim in the first country they arrive in (United States or Canada), unless they qualify for an exception to the Agreement. Therefore, refugee claimants arriving from the United States at the Canada–United States land border may be allowed to pursue their refugee claims in Canada if they meet an exception under the Safe Third Country Agreement. The Agreement was signed on December 5, 2002; it came into force on December 29, 2004. == Where the agreement is in effect == The Safe Third Country Agreement applies only to refugee claimants who are seeking entry to Canada from the United States: * at Canada-United States land border crossings; * by train; * at airports, if a person seeking refugee protection in Canada who has been determined not to be a refugee in the United States, has been ordered deported from the United States and is in transit through Canada for removal from the United States. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canada–United States Safe Third Country Agreement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
