Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) enhances spousal and partner application processing by broadening advanced analytics and automated technology. Two new tools will expedite family class spousal and partner application processing and help reunite families sooner. These applications consist of the sponsorship and principal applicant parts, which must be reviewed for approval. IRCC officers decide on all applications, and the tools never refuse applications. The tools employ rules designed by IRCC officers and machine learning-based rules from previous IRCC data. The sponsorship is assessed first, and routine cases are automatically approved. Officers manually review cases that are not auto-approved. The principal applicant tool identifies routine applications for faster processing. Once identified, the file is sent to an officer for the final decision.
