The Canadian Government announced in late 2019 that it would waive application fees for new Canadian citizenship applicants.
The pandemic delayed these plans, and then Canada held a federal election. Justin Trudeau, the leader of Canada's Liberal Party, asked his new immigration minister,
Fraser, to keep his campaign promise and waive citizenship fees after the party's third consecutive victory. This is outlined in Fraser's ministerial mandate letter, which describes his top
immigration priorities. However, the Canadian Government will need more time to fulfill its pledge to waive citizenship fees.

According to the latest Statistics Canada report, sustainable immigration flows are critical to meet the need for both high- and low-skilled employees in many sectors as businesses recover from the COVID-19 epidemic.
In the long run, larger immigration volumes will be required to a certain extent to mitigate the consequences of Canada's aging population on the job market.
In the years preceding the pandemic, immigrants' employment prospects significantly improved. Temporary foreign workers and international students, both of whom are increasingly transitioning to permanent residency, have become a more important source of labour supply.
Although economic success among recent immigrants has increased, significant issues remain with regard to their skill use.

Many people in the United States were upset and frightened after the Supreme Court restricted women's access to abortion, and many considered emigrating.
Canada could be a good choice for these individuals as the number of American immigrants in the country has risen dramatically in recent years.
The number of Americans who become Canadian permanent residents has increased every year since Trump took office, with the exception of his third year in office.
From 2015 to 2018, 7,655 to 10,900 American citizens became permanent residents each year.

On June 25, 2022, the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced the formation of a new task force to tackle growing delays in government services such as passports and airport operations.
The task force, which includes a group of federal ministers will look for main glitches in these services and offer recommendations to improve them.
It will devote special attention to the processing of immigration applications with a specific focus on priority areas where intervention is required.
The goal is to develop long- and short-term solutions that eliminate backlogs while also improving service quality and speed.
