It is beyond unfortunate geopolitical events like in Ukraine keep happening in the world. With a total 1.8 million applicants backlog, in addition to 40,000 Afghan refugees also "promised" safe passage to Canada, an understaffed and inefficient Immigration, Refugee and Canadian Citizenship department (also most government of Canada employees have been working from home), the overwhelming majority of the 401,000 permanent residencies awarded in 2021 to those ALREADY living/working in Canada at VASTLY REDUCED qualifying scores (restricted travel and entry to Canada due to covid and Liberals needed to attain those targets AT ALL COSTS), it is time to consider making Canada's institution of Immigration an independent body that can make REALISTIC decisions and fair promises rather than for votes and virtuous yet unfulfilled election promises. Independence from government like the Courts and Bank of Canada and take the reckless, whimsical decisions out of the government's hands. The Liberal solution to any geopolitical crisis of simply announcing prioritized passports/fast tracked citizenships/permanent residencies/visas and disappointing many others is simply not sustainable.
