The Different Types of Asylum Claims Under the Safe Third Country Agreement

There are a few exceptions under the safe third country agreement, which means some people would still be eligible to make an asylum claim at the land border between the US and Canada. The exceptions are for those who have family members who are citizens or permanent residents of Canada. There's also a public interest exception for people who have been charged or convicted of an offense that could subject them to the debt penalty in the US or a third country. If you're deemed ineligible, what changes now is that you'll be returning to the US.
