I agree at this point this delay seems genenrous and more humane.

We are likely witnessing an overcorrection in response to likely too liberal immigration policies. Tough economic conditions will make it tough to justify maintaining certain more humanitarian programs especially at levels we have seen in the past 10 years.

Applicants planned around published timelines. If you are not adding processing info, you are off topic.

there is no 'levels' in past 10 years mate. what are you even talking about?
economic strain doesn’t justify junk causality. Interest rates , post-covid supply chains disruptions, housing shortage predates recent arrivals blaming immigration because it’s fashionable doesn’t make it true :rolleyes:

There have certainly been very high overall immigration rates in countries like Canada and multiple programs with high targets levels given population size for various non-economic immigration programs and addition of many additional other immigration programs. Did I say that everything affecting Canada and other countries is due to immigration? I didn’t. Canada and other countries did increase immigration levels to a point that ended up putting way too much strain on many systems which caused issues for existing population as well as the newcomers. The global economy being pretty weak also makes it tough to justify not reducing immigration levels of slowing immigration programs especially from outside Canada. Canada has significantly reduced all economic immigration from outside Canada so not limited to refugees. Processing times are never guaranteed. There are huge immigration program backlogs in Canada and increased processing times not reflected in current posted processing times which are typically backward looking and were often not that accurate. I appreciate it is tough to think you can plan your life around processing times but there are many who moved to Canada to study or work thinking they would be able to stay in Canada forever which is also not the case. Many who thought their asylum claim would be heard in 6 months while it can now take 3 years. Almost nothing in immigration in Canada is now happening quickly and you are still quite lucky that you have a pathway to likely come to Canada while millions in the world have no options and doors are shutting everywhere.
 
geez man. this thread was for processing info, not broad takes about “levels” or who should feel “lucky.” If you have Ankara PSR timelines, AOR dates, interviews, medical etc to share, please post them. Otherwise it’s off topic.
Processing times are estimates, sure, but IRCC publishes them so applicants plan around them. Telling people “nothing is guaranteed” doesn’t help anyone waiting on the line
Also, correlation isn’t causation. Interest rates, supply chain shocks and a yearslong housing shortfall all predate recent arrivals. Blaming refugees in a processing thread just stigmatizes people and drowns out useful updates.


If you want a policy debate, start a new thread. Here, let’s keep it to concrete processing updates for Ankara.
