Processing Of Immigration Applications To Canada Should Be Back To Normal By End Of 2022

Backlogs do happen and in the case of Canada, it is a problem that the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada is facing. Thanks to the pandemic, despite the lower amount of applications coming in, especially during the height of the pandemic, backlogs have piled up. This can be attributed to the fewer workers available to work on the applications as well as the closure of some of the offices as face-to-face interactions and transactions were not allowed in Canada, just like anywhere else in the world.

 

However, because of how the country has been handling the pandemic, restrictions have slowly been lifted and the health sector knows how to deal with those who may have been inflicted with the disease. Immigration has also been opened and many more people are already starting to send in their applications. That has made up for the number of backlogs to even pile up. It is a good thing though that the IRCC is doing its best to ensure that the backlogs are taken care of and the processing time of applications should be back to normal by the end of 2022.

 

Studying the current situation

 

One of the things that Sean Fraser did as Immigration Minister of Canada was to study the current backlogs in applications and the processing time. This would allow him and the government to understand what is needed and what needs to be worked on to ensure that the processing times of immigration applications would be made better and faster. This is also good news for those who may be working on making their way to Canada as they would not have to wait a lot longer if things go faster and back to the normal processing times.

 

Fraser did his study with the parliamentary committee which is made up of officials of the federal government who were elected into office. They keep up with federal policies on multiculturalism and immigration. They do these studies to enable themselves to create the best recommendations that would help with immigration policies. By putting their heads together, they can create the best policies that would help with Canada’s goals.

 

The immigration goal

 

Fraser said that the IRCC is aiming at ensuring that the processing times for all applications should be back to the standard by the end of 2022. This would be most especially true for most of the business lines in Canada. He also disclosed that he is positive that the IRCC would be able to do it. However, should they not be able to meet that goal, the new timelines would be announced so as to inform everyone and keep them updated. The IRCC has already planned on adding more people to help out. It is also working on updating the current immigration system and making it more modern.
