Canada's backlog of immigration applications has plummeted to less than two million   Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that there were 1.9 million applications for permanent residence, temporary residence permits and citizenship approvals in all IRCC inventories.   According to the update, 46.5% of applications in the inventory exceeded service standards.   IRCC is dedicated to processing 20% of applications within their service standard, though some complex cases may require a comprehensive assessment.   Currently, 45% of temporary residence requests - including ones for visiting, studying or working abroad and 58% of permanent residency applications are in backlog.   Additionally, 28% of citizenship applications are also exceeding service standards.   #IRCC, #immigration_backlog, #service_standards, #application_processing_times, #backlog (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7Gw0UL_6z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Until the epidemic, the Canadian government sought to complete the majority of Express Entry immigration applications within six months. However, because of the outbreak, applicants have had to wait considerably longer. Non-Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Express Entry applicants are waiting an average of over 20 months for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to complete their permanent residency applications. Fortunately, IRCC has now stated that it will soon be able to process most new Express Entry applications within six months. This change will become effective once IRCC resumes issuing Express Entry invitations to Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), CEC, and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) candidates in early July.
