IRCC wants to make it easier and faster for families to reunite in Canada. They plan to do so by using new computer technology to process applications for spouses and partners who want to come to Canada. This technology will help check applications more quickly, so people won’t have to wait as long to be together.
Who Will Benefit from These Faster Applications?
These changes will be used to check applications for spouses, common-law partners, and conjugal partners. This means if you’re applying to bring your partner to Canada, these new tools will be used to process your application faster.
How Will These Tools Speed Up Applications?
- Two Parts: Applications for spouses and partners have two parts: one for the sponsor and one for the person being sponsored.
- New Tools for Each Part: Each part will have a special tool to help check it faster. These are listed below.
- Automatic Approval (Sometimes): If an application looks good, the tool might be able to approve it automatically, saving time.
- Checking Eligibility: The tool can also check if the person being sponsored is eligible to come to Canada.
Keep in mind, immigration officers will still have the final say. But ultimately, this means faster decisions and less waiting for families!
Will These New Tools Be Fair and Safe?
Absolutely! The government wants to make sure these tools are fair and protect everyone’s privacy. They’ve done checks to make sure the tools are safe and won’t cause any problems.
How Much Will These Tools Help?
It’s a bit early to say for sure, but similar tools have worked well in the past. For example, when they used technology to process visas for spouses visiting Canada, almost everyone got a decision in just 30 days! So, these new tools are very promising for families who want to be together faster.
