Wait times for immigration applications would be dramatically cut under a Conservative government due to the creation of an expedited processing stream for those who can afford it.
“All revenues from this expedited processing fee will be directed towards hiring additional people to streamline processing wait lines even more,” Erin O’Toole’s Conservative Party promises in its Secure The Future election platform.
The party’s position is that quicker processing for those who pay for faster service will also remove applicants from the regular stream and so cut down on every applicant’s wait time.
