A family with two young children who collapsed with hypothermia were rescued in the forest overnight Thursday after trying to cross the border into Quebec between the U.S. and Canada .

The parents had lost their shoes in a river, and the infant and toddler were not properly dressed for cold, harsh Canadian winter weather.

Emergency services were able to locate the family by keeping them on the 911 call and tracking their coordinates via GPS .

The family will likely ask for refugee status and their case will be transferred to the Canada Border Services Agency .
