Recently, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that it processed approximately 4.8 million applications in 2022, nearly double the 2.5 million applications from the previous year.
The Minister of Immigration also emphasized the record progress made by the department in reducing application backlogs this year. Since August, the department has reduced nearly 500,000 applications in backlog. As of the end of November, the department processed approximately 4.8 million applications, nearly double the number processed during the same period last year.
To strengthen the immigration system, the Minister stated that the department has digitized the processing of applications, hired and trained new staff, streamlined processes, and utilized automation technology to improve processing efficiency. Additionally, the department will continue to make long-term improvements in processing to shorten client wait times.
In terms of Permanent Residents (PR), Canada welcomed 414,000 new immigrants in the first eleven months of 2022, compared to 362,000 during the same period last year.
Canada welcomed a record 405,000 new permanent residents in 2021, surpassing the previous record set in 1913. Following another record in 2022, Canada is expected to achieve a target of over 431,000 new permanent residents. The department stated that all new spousal sponsorship applications can now be processed within 12 months, and new Express Entry applications can be processed within 6 months. Permanent residents can also complete the renewal of their PR cards in a shorter waiting time, as the department has reduced the backlog of PR card renewal applications by 99%.
At the same time, Canada has one of the highest naturalization rates in the world and encourages all new immigrants to become Canadian citizens. The IRCC expects the number of new Canadian citizens from 2022 to 2023 to reach a historic high, with approximately 251,000 new citizens welcomed from April to November, surpassing the total number of new citizens in Canada from the previous year.
As we know, Canada has long faced low birth rates and an aging population, leading to a growing labor shortage, while new immigrants play a positive role in the economic development of Canada. In the short term, new immigrants will help stimulate economic activity in Canada and alleviate economic pressures; in the medium to long term, immigration will be key to maintaining Canada’s prosperity. It can be said that immigration has always been an important part of Canada’s economy, and for this reason, Canada has been actively welcoming new immigrants.
The measures taken by the IRCC to improve backlogs and the speed of processing also reflect Canada’s desire for new immigrants. The department has been working tirelessly to clear the path for new immigrants to enter Canada. It is foreseeable that, with the efforts of the IRCC, prospective immigrants or investors currently processing Canadian immigration will encounter excellent opportunities!
