Under the agreement, refugee claimants are required to request refugee protection in the first safe country they arrive in, unless they qualify for an exception to the agreement. The agreement helps both governments better manage access to the refugee system in each country for people crossing the Canada–US land border. The two countries signed the agreement on December 5, 2002, and it came into effect on December 29, 2004. 2, record 1, English, - Canada%2DUnited%20States%20Safe%20Third%20Country%20Agreement
