Canada has announced faster temporary resident visa (TRV) processing and more considerate application measures.
Minister of Immigration, refugees and citizenship, Sean Fraser, said the new process is for families to be together sooner while they wait for their permanent residence to be finalized.
He said that going forward, most of the applications will be processed within 30 days, and applicants will benefit from processing measures specific to their circumstances as spouses and dependents.
Meanwhile, Universities across the UK have rejected the new policy, describing it as a threat to the country’s global success as a top destination for international talent and needed to be considered very carefully.
