“We can only process a set number of immigration applications each year because of our plan. We have been clear about this limit. We met our target last year, and we are on track to meet it again this year.”
“Mr. Chair, my colleague raises a really good point that we have been talking with my department’s officials about, because we receive those concerns in my constituency office as well, as do all parliamentarians. I would say that part of the process is to do with the fact that we have a levels plan that is part of managing migration in Canada, permanent and temporary. As a result of that, we can only process so many per year. We have been clear and transparent with Canadians on what that number is. In fact, we met our target last year and we are on track to do so this year. It is part of the levels plan that we have that we can only process so much.”
