Experiencing delays in your Canadian immigration application?

IRCC has service standards that set out the usual processing times for applications. However, there can be delays to these processing standards, which means that processing times are longer than IRCC’s service standard.

The first thing you should do is ensure that all documentation and required applications are up to date in order to avoid unnecessary delays. You can also check your application status on IRCC’s website, which has a processing tool that is meant to accurately show the expected wait times.

You can also file a webform inquiry or call the IRCC customer centre to inquire about your application and get a substantive response and reasoning for the delay in your application. If the inquiries to IRCC go unanswered or are unsatisfactory, you may be able to ask a local member of Parliament to file a status update request.

In addition, you can file an ATIP, or an Access to Information and Privacy Application. An ATIP is a request for an applicant’s Global Case Management System (GCMS) notes. Along with the GCMS notes, you may also request Computer Assisted Immigration Professing System (CAIPS) notes or their Field Operations Support System (FOSS) notes.

The notes will have information about the IRCC officer’s concerns or doubts about your application and will give you an idea if there is an issue with your application. It also provides you with the opportunity to submit additional documentation or evidence to address any issues or concerns.

Finally, you may consider hiring a lawyer to submit a formal request letter via IRCC’s webform. This letter will discuss how the delays in your application have seriously impacted you and the efforts you have already taken to follow up with IRCC.

The Canadian federal courts have recently ruled on two cases concerning processing delays in immigration and study permit applications. In both cases, the applicant asked the court to issue a writ of mandamus to compel Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to process their application.

A writ of mandamus is a judicial remedy that asks the courts to order IRCC – or another administrative entity – to issue a decision within a specified period of time.

With all the different immigration policies, laws, and visa opportunities in place, knowing what to apply for and how to apply can be confusing. Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants, or RCICs, are legally authorized representatives and members in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Having an RCIC assist you in applying for your Canadian visa can greatly simplify your application.
