BREAKING: Sean Fraser provides update on Canada’s immigration system

Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, talked today in Vancouver about IRCC’s ongoing efforts to minimize application backlogs, enhance client satisfaction, and solve labour shortages.

As a quick fix, the IRCC has declared that it will have hired up to 1,250 more staff members by late fall to increase processing capacity, decrease the backlog, and work toward long-term system efficiency. According to IRCC, the new personnel will shorten application processing timelines and enable the processing of new applications at pre-pandemic levels, including the six-month service requirement for Express Entry programmes.
