preface

The Committee decided to study immigration application backlogs September 29, 2011. “Backlogs” refers to applications in excess of the immigration target that accumulate, unopened, and form a backlog. From October 18th to November 17th, we heard from 33 witnesses on the topic, bringing a wide range of views to the issues. The Committee wishes to thank all witnesses who took the time to appear before it. In particular, the Committee wishes to express its thanks to Minister of Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism, the Honourable Jason Kenney and to officials from Citizenship and Immigration Canada for making themselves available on several occasions to appear before the Committee.
