Immigration lawyers and consultants are voicing alarm over apparent inconsistencies in Canada's visa application process, attributing errors to IRCC's increased reliance on computer-assisted decision-making technology.
Despite IRCC's insistence that human officers make final determinations, professionals cite cases where applications were clearly mishandled, including refusals claiming missing documents that were actually submitted.
With over 2.2 million applications in the system and 901,000 backlogged cases, the department's Chinook tool allows officers to process up to 150 applications simultaneously, raising serious procedural fairness concerns.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has significantly increased the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program's (AAIP) nomination capacity by providing an additional 1,528 spots, bringing the total allocation for 2025 to 6,403.
This substantial enhancement strengthens Alberta's ability to address regional workforce demands and advance critical provincial priorities.
Stream-specific allocation details will be updated on the processing page soon, offering stakeholders more clarity on the distribution of these new nomination opportunities.
This increased allocation reflects IRCC's recognition of Alberta's strategic importance in Canada's economic immigration landscape.
It underscores the Federal Government's commitment to supporting provincial nominee programs that effectively match skilled immigrants with regional employment opportunities.

As Canada enters fall 2025, a new study reveals deepening financial anxiety across the nation. Nearly two-thirds of Canadians (62%) report concerns about affording basics, with one-third experiencing this worry multiple times weekly.
The research shows this "precarity mindset" has intensified since earlier this year, particularly affecting younger adults (81% of those 18-29), families with children (74%), and lower-income households (73%).
For millions, economic uncertainty has become a daily reality, forcing the delay of major life decisions and creating widespread emotional exhaustion as Parliament reconvenes amid economic slowdowns.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced significant updates to the study permit guidelines for students destined for Quebec.
As of September 12, 2025, these changes clarify Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) requirements and introduce a new section on Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) requirements.
The updates also refine exemption criteria and CAQ renewal procedures, ensuring international students have more explicit guidance on authorization requirements. These modifications aim to streamline the application process and reduce confusion between CAQ and PAL requirements.
