Canada to set up border camp as number of asylum seekers swells

MONTREAL (Reuters) - Canada has deployed soldiers to erect tents near the U.S. border to temporarily house hundreds of asylum seekers crossing from New York state, officials said on Wednesday.

Around 250 asylum seekers are arriving each day in Montreal, the largest city in Canada's mainly French-speaking province of Quebec. The province has opened its Olympic Stadium to house the people.

The temporary camp will accommodate up to 500 people in heated tents as Canadian border officials process mainly Haitian claimants walking into Canada, who fear they will be deported by the U.S. government.

Nearly 100 soldiers will be in Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, across the border from Champlain, New York, on Wednesday to set up the tents and add to temporary facilities already organized by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Border Services Agency.
