Canada is known for having a stable and strong economy. Post-pandemic, the country has seen a strong rebound in several sectors, many of which are seeing rapid growth.

One of the key factors in Canada’s continued economic growth is the country’s high immigration targets. The Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025 shows that Canada will admit 500,000 immigrants a year by the end of 2025.

When applying to work, study or immigrate to Canada, a foreign national must submit their application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). IRCC has service standards that provide the usual processing times for applications. However, there can be delays to these processing standards, causing the processing time of the application to be much longer than IRCC’s service standard.

Data from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) shows that the backlog of applications in inventory, across all lines of business, is now just slightly over 800,000.

The numbers are current as of April 30. There are 2,006,000 million applications in inventory in total.

Deciding to immigrate to Canada is both an exciting and challenging decision. One of the first questions that potential immigrants often ask themselves is whether they should handle the immigration process by themselves or seek the services of a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC). This article aims to guide you through the ins and outs of each option, comparing their respective advantages, disadvantages, and costs.
