Questions about the amendments to the immigration systemHow the system will work
Q1) How will the backlog of “old” applications be drawn down over time?
In addition to the Department’s existing resources, the 2008 budget announced $109 million over five years to:
Hire and train more visa officers to speed up processing in the parts of the world where wait times are the longest. As a start, some missions, such as those in Delhi and Manila, will receive additional resources to help improve wait times.
Introduce, over time, administrative improvements such as centralized data entry. These improvements will not only ensure that the Minister’s instructions are applied consistently and efficiently, but also free up resources overseas currently involved in managing the backlog to allow for the processing of more applications.
We will also be recording occupational information for applications in the current skilled worker backlog. CIC can then refer applications of interest to the provinces and territories for processing under the Provincial Nominee Program. Finally, we will ask those people who have been waiting the longest if they prefer to continue to wait or if they wish to withdraw their applications.
All applications received prior to February 27, 2008, will be processed to a final decision on the merits of the application, according to the rules and regulations in place when they were submitted.
