Front-end processes for refugee claimants are rapidly changing as applications are digitized and government seeks new efficiencies. This infographic has been designed to assist service providers in keeping up with these changes.
As front end processing is in flux, this is not intended to be a static document. Please reference this site regularly to ensure you are using the most updated version of the resource.
This report is a submission to the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration for their study of Application Backlogs and Processing Times.
The CCR calls on the federal government to adopt a holistic approach to human trafficking that favours prevention, social protections, accountability, and labour mobility.
Now more than ever is the time to focus attention on our demands, in light of the new National Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking (2019-2024).
