Improvements to Canadian visa applications result in shorter processing times
02/06/2010
Recent indications from migration consultants working on Canadian visa applications are that new improvements to the official immigration system are resulting in much shorter processing times.
"In other words", explained Rob Clark, Canadian visa specialist of the Migration Bureau, "our clients can now emigrate to Canada much faster than was the case a few years ago."
One of the first tasks set out in the "Action Plan" by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) had been to greatly reduce the backlog of pre-2008 applications, (by nearly 40% in some cases). More recently, they have been concentrating on keeping processing times for new applications within the government's target deadlines. These efforts seem to have been successful with many visas being granted between 6-12 months.
The Provincial Nominee Program has also been extended so that there are more regional opportunities for immigration, as well as the national ones. A new National Occupation Categories (NOC) List is expected soon which will be used to streamline the assessment of future skilled worker applications.
"With these new faster application procedures, and over 260,000 annual places", Rob Clark continued, "it's an excellent time to choose to emigrate to Canada."
