Want to go to Canada to study or work? There will be a long wait for study and work permit, what is the reason?

Canada Immigration: There is bad news for Indians thinking of going to Canada for job or studies. The pressure on the immigration system in Canada is going to increase even more, because ‘Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada’ (IRCC), the organization that issues documents like study and work permits, has announced the cut of 3300 jobs. This will have a direct impact on permit processing. IRCC wants to cut government spending, due to which people will be removed from jobs.
According to the Indian Express, this decision of the Canadian government has been criticized by ‘Public Service Alliance of Canada’ (PSAC) and ‘Canadian Employment and Immigration Union’ (CEIU). Due to this decision, the future of the employees is hanging in the balance and the fear of worsening of the immigration backlog has also increased. IRCC has not yet told which posts will be affected by the decision, but the department has definitely said that more information will be given by mid-February.

Immigration crisis will get worse: PSAC

“These deep cuts will hurt the families and businesses that depend on these vital public services,” Sharon D’Souza, the institute’s national president, said on the PSAC website. “It will make the immigration crisis even worse. “Cuts always hurt Canada’s most vulnerable populations and leave thousands of workers in the lurch.” IRCC is also responsible for handling citizenship, permanent residency and passport applications.

Due to cuts in the department, it is going to take more time to process important documents including study permit, work permit. Because of this, if someone is thinking of going to Canada, it may take a long time to get the permit. The Government of Canada is cutting the central budget and due to which people are being laid off from IRCC. Canada has planned to cut $15 billion in four years. However, due to these decisions, the difficulties of people coming to Canada are going to increase.
