Je Crois

🌹🇨🇦🇨🇦🌹 Today in Ottawa, I stood with permanent residence applicants and their families who are calling for a fairer, more transparent and more efficient immigration process. Canada is a nation built by immigrants. People come here because they believe in our values—inclusion, fairness, opportunity, the rule of law and respect for every individual. Security screening is essential to protecting Canada’s national interests and public safety, and I fully support a rigorous process. At the same time, applicants deserve timely decisions, clear communication and transparency. Some of those I met today have been waiting 30, 39, or even 75 months for a response. Behind every application is a person, a family, a career and a future. Years of uncertainty affect applicants and their loved ones, and risk damaging Canada’s reputation as a welcoming and reliable destination for talent from around the world. I recognize that IRCC professionals work under significant pressure. The goal is not to criticize public servants, but to encourage meaningful improvements that make the system more efficient, transparent and accountable. I thank everyone who gathered peacefully and respectfully today. Constructive civic engagement is an important part of Canada’s democracy. I hope this nationwide gathering leads to meaningful dialogue and positive action.

🌹🇨🇦🇨🇦🌹 An important report in the @TorontoStar highlights a Federal Court ruling with implications for Canada’s immigration system. The Court reaffirmed that while the government has broad authority to set immigration priorities, applicants should not be left in prolonged administrative limbo without reasonable justification. Timely decisions—not indefinite delays—are essential to fairness, public confidence, and the rule of law. Canada’s immigration system is one of our nation’s greatest strengths. To preserve that strength, we must ensure it is efficient, transparent, accountable, and responsive to the needs of applicants, employers, and our economy. This case should encourage continued efforts to modernize IRCC, reduce backlogs, and deliver the timely, predictable processing that Canadians and newcomers deserve. #Canada #Immigration #IRCC #RuleOfLaw
