Absolutely not. One of the major changes proposed in the bill would see the Government of Canada processing only a certain number of immigration applications every year. The problem encountered most often is that we accept between 240,000 and 260,000 applications a year, but only 400,000 can be processed. We're dealing with a significant imbalance.
With this legislation, the government will be able to say that anyone can apply to immigrate to Canada in a given year, but the department will only process a limited number of applications. Applications over and above the limit will not be processed. Applicants whose applications are not processed will be able to reapply the following year.
