Advanced data analytics to help IRCC officers sort and process temporary resident visa applications

Date Announced:

January 24, 2022

Overview:

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is creating new efficiencies in its temporary resident visa (TRV) application process by expanding the use of advanced data analytics, which will now help IRCC officers sort and process all TRV applications submitted from outside Canada. IRCC officers will continue to make the final decision on all applications, and only an IRCC officer can refuse an application. The system never refuses or recommends refusing applications.
