Yes, thank you.
This came up in a previous question as well.
This was one line of business that, like every other, was impacted significantly by the pressures of COVID-19. Thankfully, family reunification is one of the areas where I think there's been the greatest amount of progress. Someone who applies today should expect a 12-month return, which is back to the service standard.
In addition, the new PR case tracker is available today for family reunification cases. This is one of the things that are going to make a big difference for the user experience. Someone who's not just worried about how long it's going to take to get here, but doesn't know where their application is in the process, now has the ability to log in to get specific information on their file and not just see generic information about what the standard processing time would be in a non-pandemic situation. This is going to make a major difference and relieve a lot of anxieties for people who are worried about not knowing where their case is.
