The real beneficiaries of this entire situation are fraudulent refugee claimants, who gain access to work permits, healthcare, and various other benefits from the moment they submit their claims. They have little concern about delays in processing — even if it takes 10 years for IRCC to reach a decision — since they can continue enjoying these benefits in the meantime.

Another group benefiting from this issue are those filing questionable work permit extensions, as they are allowed to keep working while their applications remain under review. Pausing IRCC’s processing of such cases is not the right approach; instead, the focus should be on swift screening and prompt decision-making to prevent misuse of the system.

Instead of resorting to a mass cancellation of applications under Bill C-12, IRCC should prioritize swift screening and the rejection of fraudulent claims, which does not appear to be its current approach.

For H&C that would still be very labour intensive, setting parameters of what would qualify for processing would be difficult and it would still likely lead to a large number of applications that would need to be processed. Processing times could still end up being decades. We’ll all need to wait and see.

While IRCC does not process applications without charge, current fees may not fully reflect the actual cost of processing. If that is the case, the department should review its fee structure and strengthen its operational capacity to ensure applications are processed within reasonable timelines. Continuing to collect processing fees without delivering timely service risks creating the perception that the system itself is being mismanaged, rather than applicants taking advantage of it. So its a both side affair here.

Like quebec did in skilled worker program!!adding country cap in bill c-12 in all ircc Pr applications will go a long way,no country will have more than 15 to 20% in total pr Admission each year in the public interest.
And in new temporary residents admissions study permit and work permits in the next 2years.

I was speaking about reviewing all the applications for merit and only canceling some. If cancelled applicants typically get their processing fees returned. The cost and time of reviewing all applications to determine who should be processed is not a god use of resources for IRCC. IRCC has in the past cancelled programs and let people apply again under a new program/criteria if they qualify. Current processing times have very little with staffing and mostly has to do with quota allocated which is very small. IRCC is not going to increase capacity to approve cases faster because they have limited quota and it would just add to the AIP backlog. It already has a major issue with AIP backlogs. The system was not meant for applicants to spend long periods of time between AIP & PR. AIP also doesn’t guarantee PR so the longer it takes the higher chance circumstances may change which could lead to a refusal of the application.

Don’t think that type of change needs to be passed in a bill.
