IRCC to Address Permanent Residence Backlog along with Approval of 290,000 Study Permits
The IRCC unveils their further action plan to clear the Permanent Residence Backlog and approve about 290,000 study permits.
The IRCC has released the details of the action plan to address the recommendations made in the report by the Office of Audit General, released last October. The details provide an insight into how the IRCC will be addressing the backlog of the Permanent Residence applications for newcomers in every line of business.
The Office of Audit General report stated that the backlog of permanent residency has exceeded the acceptance levels in the year 2022 throughout the pandemic. The IRCC has aimed to process 80% of the application within the service standards of the immigration application type.
However, the service standards differ as per the type of application, whether it is family class sponsorship or spousal work permit application. The use of AI has helped in easing up the processing of the application process. Last June Former Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced that these tools had helped IRCC process 98% of spousal TRV applications.
