Good News for Immigration Applicants in Backlog

Canada has limited the number of immigration to 20,000 because of the huge backlog of those who applied before March 27, 2008. Even with elevated numbers of economic immigrants, Canada still receives numerous more applications than can be processed in an appropriate way. Consequently, the department is restricting the number of new applications it will think about in the federal skilled worker category every year.

Canada will carry on to welcome traditionally high numbers of immigrants, but Canada need to deal with the figure of new applications or hazard creating new backlogs and longer processing times. Minister Kenney said that they have more than an adequate amount of applications on hand now to fill lots of of our needs, and we want to be fair to those prospective immigrants who have been waiting the longest.

Congratulations to all applicants in Backlog.

Don’t forget to post your comments.
