Are you seriously saying that? For your information, here are the IRCC processing times for permanent residency across several categories:
• Express Entry: FSWP and CEC take approximately 5 months.
• Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Express Entry PNP takes 7 months.
• Quebec Skilled Workers: 9 months.

If you have any additional information, feel free to share. Or are you just here throwing words and acting like an IRCC spokesperson? By the way, can you share your timeline please? Or you’re a citizen by default!

In reality most are not being processed within anything close to the posted processing times. Also doesn’t account for the time spent in a pool before being selected which can be months to years. Applicants typically work and/or study for years to have a high enough school and/or specific profession to qualify for a PR pathway. The majority of people spend many years in Canada before they can even attempt to apply for PR. There is no short or easy pathway to qualify for PR for most these days.

When did I ever say I get to decide who is eligible for asylum? That said IRCC is supposed to screen temporary residents applications for risk of asylum claims if they enter Canada. IRCC for a time was approving almost everyone for who applied to visit, work or study in Canada which primarily lead to this huge backlog while never having the capacity to process the applications.

Many of you may not have had the opportunity to claim asylum if IRCC had tightened policies so a bit hypocritical to criticize.... that exactly you said and it means that maybe you were not eligible for it but they just let you inwith their easy policies.

Yes you right , but we also pass 2,3 or 4 years to get the acceptance decision and then should stay in line for at least 3years ....

I clearly stated the IRCC became very lenient with its TRV and temporary permit authorizations. That lead to many people getting a TRV/SP/WP who would have never received a TRV in the past due to high risk of asylum claim on arrival. Many complaining about processing times benefited from the lax entry requirements that allowed them to make their asylum claim and get protected person status. Also one of the big reasons asylum claim volumes increased dramatically over the past few years. I never questioned eligibility I was pointing out that many would have not received a visa/permit if they applied today because of the tightened screening and would have not made it to Canada to claim asylum. More people got to claim asylum because of the lax screening but the wait times also increased because of it. Those on a pathway to PR no matter how long it takes are still incredibly lucky. I also get frustrated with Canada’s healthcare system but I am also well aware that we are still incredibly lucky even if we have wait times.

Most do not wait 2+ years to get their initial asylum claim heard although that is changing. Would encourage you to look at sometimes. Many are in Canada for 5-10 year before they get PR but many have zero pathway to PR especially not a guaranteed one. I understand the frustration but I also don’t think you realize what others are also experiencing on their attempts to get PR in Canada. Having travelled enough, been involved in foreign affairs, being aware of geopolitics, etc. I also can think of millions of people sitting in a refugee camps, living precariously in a neighbouring country, living in fear in their own country or even in the US as an asylum claimant/refugee/asylee these days who are in much worse situation and are desperate to move to a safe country longterm. Life is all about perspective. As I specified in my other post I also get frustrated with wait times for healthcare in Canada but I quickly remind myself that a large portion of the world has no or minimal access to healthcare and we are still very lucky.

Taking your frustration out on protected people here is just too petty. Lots of people here are stressed just like you, if not more. You shouldn't follow this forum if you want to spread hate/negativity
