Vancouver East MP Jenny Kwan, the NDP Critic for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, said a better way to reduce IRCC’s backlog and processing times is to put additional staffing resources to process applications and expand the immigration levels.
“The government cannot continue to rob Peter to pay Paul by taking resources and immigration levels from one stream and reallocating it to another. All that does is create further problems and chaos in the system,” Kwan told NCM.
