Hey there! If you're curious about the future of immigration in Canada, you've come to the right place. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has shared exciting plans for processing permanent residence applications in 2025.

While not every immigration pathway will see its entire inventory cleared, there are some programs you can look forward to! Specifically, the Express Entry programs and a few Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) will fully process their applications.

For some pathways, like the Canadian Experience Class and Quebec's skilled worker programs, the IRCC aims to tackle their entire application backlogs this year. However, others, like the Agrifood and Atlantic Immigration Programs, will only process a portion of applicants. Get ready to mark your calendars because some wait times may vary!

Stay tuned to learn more about what this means for you and your immigration journey!
