In demand yet unprocessed : endemic immigration backlogs / Sukh Dhaliwal, chair.: XC64-1/1-441-18E-PDF

"This report follows a study by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration on application backlogs and processing times conducted from 5 May 2022 to 1 November 2022. The report is divided into three Parts: Part I explores the problems that are affecting all streams of immigration processing, from small backlogs like the citizenship inventory to the largest backlog, that of temporary residents, and how these backlogs have caused massive hardships for millions of workers, students, refugees and asylum claimants in Canada and those waiting abroad. Part II examines the root causes to these application backlogs and processing delays, touching on capacity management and circumstantial impacts such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Part III discusses what witnesses before the Committee viewed as requirements and solutions for how to improve Canada’s immigration system in the interest of equity and transparency, and how these proposals can be implemented"--Summary.
