IRCC reports an increase in immigration application inventories

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) updated the data on immigration inventories and backlogs. According to the last update, there were 2,041,800 applications for permanent residence, temporary residence, and citizenship approvals in all IRCC inventories. This is 65,100 more applications than the previous update. According to the new data, 62.7% 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, 35% of temporary residence requests, including those for visiting, studying, or working, and 44% of permanent residency applications are in backlog. Additionally, 19% of citizenship applications also fail to meet service standards.
