The Conservative government lifted the visa requirement on Czech citizens in late 2007 despite warnings of a repeat of what followed a similar decision in the mid-1990s, when there was a flood of Roma claimants before the visa rule was re-imposed.
Roma began arriving at the Toronto international airport almost immediately, with 840 claims filed in 2008 compared to five in 2006. Almost 3,000 claims were filed since the decision, more than half in the first four months of this year.
The number of Mexican refugee claimants has almost tripled since 2005, rising from 3,400 to 9,400 in 2008, when Mexicans made up one-quarter of all asylum requests, the government said in a statement.
In the first half of 2009, there were more than 5,500 Mexican claims, compared with roughly 3,700 over the first six months of 2008.
The Immigration and Refugee Board reviewed 5,654 Mexican claims last year and accepted 606.
