In this video, I said Jamaica ranked 5th, but in fact, Jamaica ranks 15th (with 12,484 overstayers out of 16 countries (#16 being Germany with the least overstayers, having 12,314 overstayers).. Canada has the highest overstayers and ranks #1 with a total of 101,281 overstayers) extracted from Table 2 of Countries with the Highest Overstay Numbers, according to the Fiscal Year 2017 Entry/Exit Overstay report, Department of Homeland Security, last updated August 7, 2018.

SOME BACKGROUND:
