加拿大是人们的一个首选目的地，很多人选择将这里作为他们寻求新的工作、学习和与家人安家生活的地方，而移民是帮助本地雇主填补全国数以十万计的职位空缺，并增长我们国民经济的关键。 

8月24日，移民、难民和公民部长肖恩·弗雷泽（Sean Fraser）阁下强调了正在进行之加强加拿大移民体系并减少申请积压的工作，重点是解决劳动力短缺问题、改善客户体验、并让家庭团聚。作为这项计划的一部分，弗雷泽部长宣布加拿大移民、难民和公民部（IRCC）将在秋季结束前增聘多达1250名新员工，以在短期内提高我们的审理容量并解决积压问题，我们也同时在采取行动，使我们的移民体系在长期内更具可持续性。 

由于新增聘的员工，以及来自《2021年经济和财政更新报告》中8500万元的支持，使我们能够减少等候时间，并恢复到疫情大流行前对关键领域新客户的服务标准，包括快速通道（Express Entry）永久居民申请通道的6个月服务标准，配偶申请类家庭团聚的12个月服务标准，以及永久居民卡的标准等。 

随着世界各地的申请者对加拿大的兴趣空前高涨，IRCC继续为移民审理流程设定更高的标准。2021年，我们创造了历史记录，接纳了超过40万5000名新的加拿大永久居民。我们2022年的目标是欢迎43万1000名永久居民，我们正在实现这一目标的道路上，从1月1日到7月31日，加拿大接纳了大约27万5000人，这一数字比以往任何一年都要快。 

IRCC在2021年发放了超过19万9000份工作许可。今年，我们从1月1日至7月31日就已发放了超过34万9000份新的工作许可，而2021年同期大约只发放了11万2000份。这其中包括超过22万个开放工作许可，允许证件持有人可在加拿大任何地方从事几乎任何职业的工作。这些工作许可意味着每天有多达1700名新人能够来加拿大工作，帮助我们的经济增长。 

加拿大也是国际留学生的一个首选目的地。2021年，IRCC最终批准了近56万份学习许可（study permit）申请，比2019年的记录高出31%。到2022年，IRCC的审批数据已经超过这一数字，在2022年1月1日至7月31日期间，最终批准了近36万份学习许可，而2021年同期批准了约30.6万份学习许可。 

然而，为应对人道主义危机以及为满足大量需求而更新老化的技术，导致申请审理的延迟和更长时间的等待。我们的重点是减少现有的积压，积压是指在我们库存中超过我们服务标准时长的申请。截至7月底，我们库存中约54%的申请被认定为积压。我们的目标是依照这些服务标准完成所有新申请审理的80%，考虑到有些复杂案例预计会产生延迟。 

我们将继续改善加拿大的移民体系，这将提升我们从世界各地吸引顶尖人才的能力，并帮助解决旅游、医疗保健、农业、交通运输和技工行业等领域的关键劳动力短缺问题。为了让加拿大人民了解我们在减少积压方面的最新进展，IRCC将在我们的网站上公布每月数据。我们将在未来几周和几个月内公布更多关于其他措施的信息，这些措施将帮助新的工作人士进入本国的经济、让家庭得以团聚、并确保我们的移民体系为所有人服务。 

引述 

移民、难民和公民部长肖恩·弗雷泽（Sean Fraser）阁下： 

“作为世界各地新移民的一个首选目标，加拿大引起了世人前所未有的兴趣。一个运行良好的移民体系支持我们社区的未来，使我国的各个产业能够充分利用必备的人才和新的商业机会，以便能够继续增长并保持竞争力。我们将继续采取措施加强移民工作，为我们的工商业、我们的经济和所有加拿大人带来收益。”

August 24, 2022—Ottawa—Canada is a destination of choice for people looking for a

new place to work, study and build their lives with their families, and immigration is key

to helping employers fill hundreds of thousands of vacant positions across the country

and grow our economy.

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today

highlighted ongoing work to strengthen Canada’s immigration system and reduce

application backlogs, with a focus on addressing labour shortages, improving client

experience, and reuniting families. As part of this plan, the Minister announced that

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will have hired up to 1,250 new

employees by the end of the fall to increase our processing capacity and tackle the

backlogs in the short term, while we take action to make our system more sustainable in

the long term.

These new hires, as well as support provided through the $85 million from the

Economic and Fiscal Update 2021, have allowed us to reduce wait times and return to

pre-pandemic service standards for new clients in critical areas, including the six-month

service standard for the Express Entry permanent residence pathway, the 12-month

service standard for family reunification through spousal sponsorship, and permanent

resident cards.

With unprecedented interest in Canada from applicants all over the world, IRCC

continues to set the bar higher for immigration processing. In 2021, we set a historic

record by admitting more than 405,000 new permanent residents to Canada. Our target

for 2022 is to welcome 431,000 permanent residents, and we are well on our way to

achieving it, with approximately 275,000 admissions from January 1 to July 31—a

number reached faster than in any previous year.

IRCC was able to issue more than 199,000 work permits in 2021. This year, we issued

over 349,000 new work permits from January 1 to July 31, compared to approximately

112,000 issued during the same period in 2021. These include over 220,000 open work

permits, which allow permit holders to work anywhere in Canada in almost any

occupation. These work permits mean up to 1,700 new people every day are able to

come work in Canada and help grow our economy.

Canada is also a top destination for international students. In 2021, IRCC finalized

almost 560,000 study permit applications, surpassing our previous record from 2019 by

31%. IRCC is already outpacing that number in 2022, with almost 360,000 study permits finalized between January 1 and July 31, 2022, compared to about 306,000

finalized in the same period in 2021.

However, responding to humanitarian crises and updating aging technology to meet

demands have led to processing delays and longer wait times. Our focus is on reducing

existing backlogs, which are the applications that have been in our inventories longer

than our service standards. At the end of July, about 54% of applications in our

inventories were considered in backlog. We are aiming to process 80% of all new

applications within these standards, accounting for expected delays in complex cases.

Continuing to improve Canada’s immigration system will increase our ability to attract

top talent from around the world, and help solve key labour shortages in sectors like

tourism, health care, agriculture, transportation, and the skilled trades. To keep

Canadians up to date on our progress toward reducing the backlogs, IRCC will

publish monthly data on our website. We will share more information in the coming

weeks and months on additional measures that will help get workers into the economy,

reunite families, and ensure that our immigration system works for everyone.

strengthen immigration, for the benefit of our businesses, our economy, and all

Canadians.‖
