On January 24, 2022, the Government of Canada announced that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will use advanced data analytics to sort and process temporary resident visa (TRV) applications submitted from outside Canada. The use of the advanced system is part of IRCC’s commitment to improving client service and application processing. IRCC officers will continue to make the final decision on applications, approve, or refuse them. The system will assist in managing IRCC’s increasing volume of TRV applications and will not have any impact on the decision-making.
