Canadian immigration lawyer Colin R. Singer has issued a call to action for the federal government, urging Ottawa to prioritize the clearing of the Bill C-3 citizenship backlog before ramping up efforts to recruit new immigrants. The focus on current applicants is seen as a necessary step to stabilize the system.

The backlog currently presents a significant hurdle for those already within the Canadian immigration pipeline. By addressing these existing cases first, officials could ensure that the system functions efficiently for those who have already committed to the Canadian integration process.

Singer emphasizes that managing current responsibilities is foundational to the integrity of the broader immigration strategy. Before setting new, ambitious levels for future immigration, the government must demonstrate its capacity to process those it has already invited to become citizens.
