There are three options. First, there's the status quo: we just keep going. And you're quite right, processing times will probably continue to lengthen, given the demand.
Second, the government could look at a larger immigration target overall. We're at this range of 240,000 to 265,000. However, there are a lot of implications there—the number of people Canada can settle, the effect on our whole support system of health and social services, the effect on education, and so on. So that needs pretty careful consideration.
Third, there are trade-offs between the different components of our existing plans. You could rebalance the system and decide to do more of one and less of another. And that's what we've been doing a bit at the margin.
