Canada Aims to Receive 410,000 new Immigrants and Speed up Processing Time

On Tuesday, the federal government of Canada released its latest annual report on the Canadian economy. It mentioned three major benefits for Canadian immigrants next year!

1. The federal government will pay 85 million Canadian dollars to upgrade the Canadian immigration system! It will focus on improving the current case handling capacity of the Immigration Bureau, on the one hand to solve the existing backlog of cases, on the other hand, it can also greatly speed up the trial of subsequent immigration cases and shorten the waiting time for applicants.”

2. The report suggests that the Immigration Service is likely to improve the scoring method of the federal Express Entry “EE” system next year, so that the system can adapt to the needs of the labor market and select applicants who are more suitable for the current needs of Canada. This will likely mean that more points will be awarded to applicants who have a Canadian education/work experience, or who are currently in Canada, or who work in a specific industry that is in short supply.

Considering that the scores of FSWP applicants in the Express Entry pool now far exceed those of CEC applicants: not only the number is very large, but also the scores are high. However, they are generally outside Canada, and there is some uncertainty about whether they will enter Canada for a long time in the future. We suspect that immigration may introduce some bonus points that favor those in Canada, thereby increasing their advantage. In addition, the time required to process FSW applications is generally longer than that of CEC applications, which is why the USCIS may prefer domestic applicants.

3. The report emphasizes “the significant role Canadian immigrants have played in Canada’s post-pandemic economic recovery” and that in 2022, Canada will introduce at least 411,000 new immigrants. And if the need arises, more immigrants may be brought in.
