Canada has introduced five new measures for stronger immigration services which are mentioned below.

Certain in-Canada applicants exempt from medical exams

In an attempt to decrease the processing times, Sean Fraser has decided to exclude the permanent and temporary residence applicants living in Canada, from the requirement of immigration medical. This measure applies only to the individuals who meet the eligibility criteria, which is not yet released and the IRCC expects it to impact about 180,000 newcomers. Earlier, Canada renounced the requirement of the medical exam between June 2021 and March 2022 and it mentioned that the measure is meant to reduce the processing times and focus on the hiring of 1,250 new employees to increase the capability of processing further.

A higher number of programs have application status trackers

Like the application status trackers such as a spousal, partner, and dependent child sponsorship applicants which has been launched in February 2022, seven more permanent residence and temporary residence programs will have trackers by spring 2023. The citizenship applications status tracker introduced in May 2021 will be extended to include access to the representatives in the month of September 2022. However, the IRCC is enhancing its tool to process online applications faster to offer accurate information and it will publish progressive measures of the time taken to process an application.

Modernizing Canadian citizenship

In August 2021, the IRCC introduced a tool that allows fixed citizenship applications to be submitted online and allows groups of adults, aged 18 or older to apply together. The IRCC means to extend this tool to provide online applications, especially for minors under the age of 18, by the end of 2022. By far in 2022, Canada has excelled in its citizenship goals for 2021-2022, welcoming over 217,000 new citizens and in the fiscal year, from April 1 to July 31 of 2022, Canada has invited over 116,000 new citizens in comparison to 35,000 in the same time of 2021.
