On October 12, 2022, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced the expansion of advanced analytics and other automated technology. IRCC's use of advanced analytics and automation is part of its commitment to leveraging technology responsibly to build a more robust immigration system. The new tool will save time by automating clerical and repetitive tasks related to sorting applications so that IRCC officers can focus on assessing applications and making final decisions. This will result in quicker client decisions and faster processing times overall for visitor record applications.
