As the number of coronavirus cases in Canada continues to climb,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is rapidly
deploying new measures to help foreign nationals in Canada and to
deal with pending applications.
Many IRCC offices are either closed or operating with essential
staff only. Individuals who have immigration applications in
progress or who need to submit one soon should expect lengthy
delays in processing.
If the novel coronavirus affects your application, you should
let IRCC know by submitting an IRCC Webform report as soon as
possible. The IRCC Webform is available at www.cic.gc.ca.
IRCC has implemented special protocols to help applicants
affected by the coronavirus.
