IRCC DECREASED IMMIGRATION INVENTORIES AND BACKLOGS

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has recently released updated data on immigration inventories and processing times, shedding light on the current landscape for applicants seeking to migrate to Canada. As of the latest update, IRCC is managing a significant volume of applications totaling approximately 2,220,000 across various categories, including permanent residence, temporary residence, and citizenship approvals.

According to IRCC's latest statistics, 60.4% of these applications are currently meeting the agency's service standards for processing times. This indicates a substantial effort by IRCC to efficiently handle incoming applications within reasonable timeframes. However, challenges persist, with a notable portion of applications facing delays beyond these standards.

Specifically, 43.7% of requests for temporary residence permits—encompassing visits, study, or work permits—are in backlog, indicating longer waiting periods for individuals eager to visit, study, or work in Canada. Similarly, 40.3% of applications for permanent residency are experiencing delays beyond the established service standards, highlighting complexities in assessment processes or high demand in certain immigration categories. Additionally, 17.1% of citizenship applications are also subject to prolonged processing times, underscoring the patience required by applicants seeking Canadian citizenship.
