The Canada Border Services Agency has completed the initial examinations of the migrants of the Sun Sea vessel and is now in a position to provide an update on the processing of these individuals. The CBSA can confirm that it has processed 492 migrants. Of that number, there are: 380 men, 63 women and 49 minors. It should be noted that the total number of adults and minors is subject to change as the CBSA must still confirm the identity and age of all migrants. The CBSA also confirmed that all adult migrants have been detained for examination under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the necessary steps are being taken to address this situation. Accompanied minors will remain with their mothers in low-risk facilities and, wherever possible, will be accommodated together.
