Immigrants play a vital role in Canada’s economy, with officials granting more than 604,382 new temporary work permits to foreigners in 2022. However, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) has a backlog of 180,000 illegal immigrants and asylum seekers requesting to remain in the country, as disclosed during a @SenateCA committee hearing. 'Good God,' said one senator. The Migrant Rights Network is urging the Trudeau government to create a program granting permanent resident status to undocumented immigrants. Executive Director Syed Hussan estimates there are as many as half a million illegal immigrants in Canada who should all be given permanent residency. Canada is also considering a citizenship path for undocumented migrants.
