Canada is expecting a 'significant surge' in immigration applications as coronavirus restrictions ease, putting a 'tremendous demand' on government resources, federal officials say.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) must move to overhaul how it processes applications in order to cope with the rush, according to a new tender document.
In preparation for the post-pandemic situation, IRCC must consider a range of updates to processes including paper applications, immigration interviews and a computer system overhaul.
Only then will it be ready to cope with the expected increase in applications.
The 'urgent' tender request says: "IRCC needs to act quickly to develop (i) updated and new strategies, and (ii) processes and digital systems to cope with the rapid change it is undergoing."
It adds: "When travel restrictions begin to ease, a significant surge of applications and support requirements is anticipated, putting tremendous demand on our global operations and supporting branches."
