‘More than enough’ staff to process economic immigration applications on time: PBO
For the 2022-23 fiscal year, the report said Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has 65 per cent more staff than needed to process applications on time.
By 2026-27, the department will have four per cent more employees than it needs to process these types of applications.Last year, Canada was grappling with significant immigration backlogs that formed during the pandemic. The federal government announced a hiring blitz to address the backlogs as it faced mounting political pressure over delays.
The PBO also asked the department to share information about resources that would have been needed to meet processing goals in previous years.But Giroux said the department refused, saying the information is protected by cabinet confidences.
