After months of backlog, Canada’s Immigration minister, Sean Fraser, has allocated an astounding $85 million to cut down the wait time for immigration applications.
This was all thanks to the minister’s mandate letter, given by PM Justin Trudeau to reduce IRCC processing times. According to sources, a part of this infusion would go into helping the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) innike air jordan sale nike air max 90 custom football jerseys nike air force jordan south carolina football jersey cheap sex toys yeezy sneakers red and black jordan 1 jersey soccer custom custom nhl hockey jerseys adidas yeezy prezzo basso rose sex toy air jordan 1 element nike air max 95 yeezy shoes under 1000crease the use of advanced data analytics to assist & fast-track the work of IRCC officers, especially to sort and process the backlog of visitor visa applications tendered from outside Canada.
The major chunk of this $85 million, however, will be used to hire more staff. The added immigration workforce will help the government get back on track with its previously established turn-around-times for proof of citizenship applications, visitor visas, permanent resident renewals, as well as work & study permits.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser estimates that the government will clear the backlog caused by Covid-19, by the end of this year. He further acknowledged that the looming applications are sufficient to surpass the existing immigration goals for this year. According to the 2021-2023 Multi-year Immigration Levels plan, Canada is anticipated to welcome 411,000 new arrivals in 2022, even though that number might alter when the fresh targets are announced in February.
This move has been long due, since the beginning of the pandemic. In an attempt to surpass their 2021 target of 401,000 newcomers amidst flight limitations, Canada had to land individuals who were already in the country. Furthermore, there was a substantial surge in the amount of individuals who applied to the IRCC. Due to this, they ended up with a backlog of two typical years’ worth of submissions stacking up. But according to Fraser, this doesn’t mean Canada will not take into account new applications.
According to data from December 2021, IRCC has a little over 1.8 million applications in the queue. This backlog of 1.8 million includes international students, visitors, citizens, temporary workers, permanent residents, and even people from the in-demand tech sector, all thankful to Justin Trudeau & Sean Fraser for giving IRCC the help it needed to process all they’re applications.
If your amongst the 1.8 million waiting to enter Canada, or are considering a move, do it the smart way, by finding jobs in Canada while you apply.
