IRCC has released updated data on immigration inventory and application backlogs

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) updated the data on immigration inventories and backlogs. According to the last update, there were 2,182,200 applications for permanent residence, temporary residence, and citizenship approvals in all IRCC inventories. According to the new data, 53.8% of applications in the inventory are within service standards. IRCC aims to process 80% of applications within its service standard; however, some complex cases may require a more comprehensive assessment. Currently, 45% of temporary residence requests, including those for visiting, studying, or working, and 54% of permanent residency applications are in backlog. Additionally, 22% of citizenship applications also fail to meet service standards.
