I see that under the family class the parents and grandparents are still stuck at the 13,000 level. That's a steep drop from 10 to 15 years ago, when the total number of family class applicants accounted for almost half of the people coming into Canada. Now it's about a quarter, so it's a much smaller number. In the meantime, there is a huge backlog. Maybe you can let me know what the backlog is for parents.
I just know that to sponsor a parent from Beijing, it takes five years; from New Delhi, it's six years; from Accra, it's eight years; and it's three years before your sponsorship application is even reviewed. So it's just huge. I can't see how, with the 13,000 to 17,000 range for parents and grandparents, you'll ever deal with that backlog. Wait times will never get smaller; they'll just grow.
Am I wrong?
