Here are highlights from the news:

The eight programs examined by Hogan's office fall into three classes: refugee and humanitarian, economic, and family. While processing times improved for the economic and family classes, they worsened for refugees.

most privately sponsored refugees waited about 30 months for a decision on their application. Only five per cent of refugees in this class had their applications processed within Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada's (IRCC) 12-month timeline.

Most people applying under the Government-Assisted Refugee Program waited 26 months. Only 26 per cent of refugees in this stream saw their applications processed in 12 months.

Data isn’t current so wait times are likely longer given influx of asylum seekers this year.
