According to data updated by the department on December 20, 2023, the Canadian immigration backlog has decreased by 46,200 (-4.93%), according to the latest report from the IRCC.

As of November 30, 2023, this Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) data relates to applications for citizenship, permanent residency, and temporary residency.

For the first time since April 2023, the backlog of immigration to Canada for citizenship, permanent residency, and temporary residency has nearly decreased.

Any application for citizenship, immigration, or a temporary visa that takes longer to process than the average service level established by the immigration department is referred to as the immigration backlog.

According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), there was an overall backlog of 890,300 applications for citizenship, immigration, and temporary visas, and the processing of these applications was taking longer than usual.

Applications that take longer than this are categorized as backlogs, and IRCC aims to process 80% of applications within the department's service standards.

Current Canada Student Status

Image
  Recently there has been a lot of confusion regarding the status of Indian students planning for their higher education in Canada. As a director of the company The Overseas Consultant based in India, I would like to state the following facts which can be verified from the Indian and Canadian government websites. India has stopped issuing Visas to Canadian passport holders throughout the world. However Canada has not banned issuing Visa to Indian tourist or Indian students. This means there has been no negative effect on the student Visa process for Canada. In fact there has been no delay in Visa processing by IRCC, which is the Visa issuing authority of Canada.   We at TOC have been filing for Student Visa with IRCC, regularly since the last 2 weeks and have been receiving Visa Approvals for those students whose Visa was filed in the month of August 2023. I have also been in touch with students who are currently pursuing their PGDM/Master’s in Canada and as per their response

Canada's One-Year Masters Programs With a Three-Year Work Permit

Canada's One-Year Masters Programs With a Three-Year Work Permit:  New regulations for foreign students studying in Canada as of 2024 were implemented by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Along with other new special measures for international students coming to complete master's degrees, the IRCC established a cap on the number of international students entering Canada each year. However, master's or doctorate-level programs are exempt. Pursuing a 1-year master's degree has several advantages over two-year postgraduate credentials, in addition to being quicker and less expensive. The new IRCC regulations state that regardless of program length, students who have finished a master's degree are eligible for a three-year PGWP beginning on February 15, 2024. Moreover, the only people eligible to apply for a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) are spouses or common-law partners of students pursuing a master's, doctoral, or professional degree. In a
