The more interesting part is the table which is just scary. There is at least 115k H&C applications in the backlog when 2026 target is 6.5k I think. The year after 4.5k. The math doesn’t work.

That is very important question for the Government and new minister Ms Diab. Even for refugees, the current inventory is more than 250k and target admission is 58k. Regarding H and C, the inventory of public policy alone is 60k. I have said multiple times that these numbers will not work in reality.

That is just the general H&C category. Way over 100k for all H&C programs which fall under public policy. Asylum claims closer to 300k I believe at this point based on a recent data. Agree the math does not math.

This number 250k is not for asylum claims. 250k include protected persons who are in Canada and their dependents overseas plus Government sponsored refugees. So now current inventory of refugees applying for PR is more than 250K (approximately 266k) and the target is only 58k. How is this going to work I dont know. There is no quota for asylum claims. It is not under IRCC and IRB acceptance rate of asylum claims is 83%.
