Permanent Residence

Ottawa will Grant Citizenship to 300,000 Permanent Residents According to an internal document from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, the Government of Canada plans to grant citizenship to 300,000 permanent residents.   A memo, written by the Operations, Planning, and Performance division of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for high-ranking officials, suggests that IRCC should make 285,000 decisions and 300,000 new citizens by March 31st, 2023.    The number of citizenship applications processed in 2022 is significantly higher than the 2021-2022 fiscal year, and it even beats the 2019-2020 targets from before the pandemic, which was 253,000.   By the end of the year, minors under the age of 18 will be able to submit an online citizenship application, according to the IRCC.   This is a great increase over the fiscal year 2021–2022, and it even outperforms the pre-pandemic goals of 2019–2020, when 253,000 citizenship applications were granted.   The Covid-19 epidemic started to spread in March 2020, which made it difficult for IRCC to process the majority of applications. This was due to the department’s limited capacity to handle applications on paper that were mailed to a single location.   To find out more details about the “Ottawa will grant citizenship to 300,000 permanent residents”, you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info    Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.
