Canada has announced faster temporary resident visa (TRV) processing and more application measures that are considerate.
While the announcement in a statement, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Sean Fraser, said the new development is for families to be together on time while they wait for their permanent residence to be concluded.
He said going forward, most of these applications would be processed within 30 days, and applicants will gain from processing measures peculiar to their circumstances as spouses and dependents.
The Minister stated that many applications have already been processed using these new tools and added that the process has recorded an approval rate of 93%.
He said: “Family reunification through immigration is not only a matter of compassion; it is a fundamental pillar of Canadian society. Today’s announcement is a mandate commitment to help build inclusive and resilient communities.
“We are supporting Canadians and newcomers by reuniting families faster, and also allowing them to work and support themselves more quickly once they’re here. By doing so, Canada is helping newcomers achieve their true potential, while also strengthening Canada’s economy and social fabric.”
Spousal applicants, along with other open work permit holders, whose open work permits expire between August 1 and the end of 2023, will also be able to extend their work permits for extra 18 months.
According to the statement, a similar option was recently presented to a lot of people with expiring post-graduation work permits.
This came few days after the United Kingdom announced plan to ban some foreign students from bringing their family members into the country.
