The application backlog continues to be a challenge to Canadian Immigration. In late January, Canadian Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser announced number of measures to tackle this situation. Those measures includes adopting new technology and hiring new staff. However, continuous increase in the application number raises a question mark on these measures.!
