Recently, Canadian Federal Immigration Minister Ahmed revealed at an immigration policy advisory meeting in most regions that the processing time for replacing permanent resident cards has been greatly shortened from the past 10 to 18 to 2 months.

Currently, the official CIC display time is 63 days. Meanwhile, the immigration minister also said he hopes to speed up processing time to 14 days in the near future.

notes:

The Canadian permanent resident card (card) (commonly called the maple leaf card) was officially implemented on June 28, 2002. It is the identity document of permanent residents of Canada. Its nature is similar to the American green card. In the early days, Canada used immigration documents. After the 9/11 incident, the U.S. and Canada border was the longest unblocked border in the world. At the advice of the U.S. government, the Canadian government began issuing maple leaf cards to permanent residents.

From the date of issuance, the Canadian Maple Leaf Card is valid for five years. However, there are some exceptions. If the applicant loses permanent resident status abroad due to failure to fulfill his residence obligations, the applicant can apply for a one-year maple leaf card. This new, plastic-based card features many security features, and the Maple Leaf card contains a high-tech design more complex than bank financial card tape, which contains all the data to confirm permanent resident identity. Only authorized officials can read this data. It will not be used to track cardholder activities and therefore has the effect of protecting cardholder's privacy.

Ahmed also pointed out that the second round of the Parents and Grandparents Family Reunion Immigration Program (PGP), which will start on the 6th of this month, will have 3,500 positions, and the deadline for submitting immigration application materials is December 8 this year.

The second lottery was withdrawn because the guarantors drawn in the first round of lottery this year, some of whom failed to meet the application requirements after receiving an invitation to apply for immigration, and the immigration department failed to complete the immigration quota of 10,000 people.

Selected applicants will receive notifications starting September 6, 2017, so applicants should double-check your email to avoid missing notifications.

In addition, after the Federal Liberal Party came to power, reformed immigration also included reducing the approval cycle for naturalization applications from the initial 24 months to 12 months; as many as 20,000 family gathering applications have been accumulated over a long period of time, and finally began to gradually clean up, and promised to shorten the approval cycle for most family gathering applications to 12 months, which also greatly shortened the gathering time for many couples living in foreign countries.

In June this year, the widely viewed C-6 amendment was officially passed, greatly lowering the threshold for immigrants to obtain Canadian nationality. The naturalization method has been modified, and the residence time requirements for naturalization have been relaxed. The residence time required for immigration to apply for naturalization has changed from the current six years to the current three years of living for five years. The new bill also lowers the standards of language requirements. The age attributable to language tests will be reduced from over 64 to over 54. You can be naturalized without language testing.
