Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship June 3rd, 2024

Mr. Speaker, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada sets the average processing times for applications.

However, here is the reality. One of my constituents was begging my office to check the status of his visitor record application, which was submitted on March 4. The official told us that it was still being processed and that the average wait time was 77 days, which brought us to May 20. We called back on May 21 only to be told that the wait time was now 84 days, which meant May 27. We called back on May 28 only to be told that it would take until June 1, which is more than 89 days.

How can the department operate with rules like that?
