IRCC has now ended temporary public policy to facilitate TRV’s

In a recent update from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), it has been announced that the temporary public policy aimed at facilitating the processing of Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) applications has officially come to an end. This policy was implemented on February 28, 2023, as a response to the challenges posed by the growing TRV application inventory during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this blog post, we will explore the key details surrounding the termination of this policy and its impact on  to Canada.

During the height of the pandemic, the IRCC recognized the need to streamline and expedite the processing of TRV applications. The temporary public policy was initiated to address the backlog and ensure smoother visa processing for travellers. It was designed to clear the older TRV cases within the inventory, and it successfully helped the IRCC meet its commitment to speeding up TRV application processing.

As of now, the temporary public policy to facilitate TRV processing is no longer in effect. This means that all new TRV applications will be processed under the standard immigration procedures and timelines. While this change may impact those who were benefitting from the expedited policy, applicants need to ensure they meet all regular requirements and submit complete applications to avoid processing delays.

It is crucial to note that the termination of this policy does not affect individuals who were already issued a visa. Those with valid TRVs can continue to travel to Canada until their visa expires, as this change primarily applies to new TRV applications.

Despite the conclusion of the temporary policy, the IRCC remains committed to reducing processing times and addressing the accumulated inventory in its system. They continue to process TRVs as quickly as possible to accommodate the growing number of people who wish to visit Canada.

The conclusion of the temporary public policy for TRV processing marks a significant step in returning to standard immigration procedures in Canada. Travelers and applicants are encouraged to stay updated on the latest immigration policies and procedures by visiting the official Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.

For further inquiries or concerns regarding TRV applications or any other immigration matters, it is advisable to reach out to the IRCC directly or consult with a qualified immigration expert.
