News Is Good For Canada Applicants for work permits: IRCC Will Automate PGWP Processing
The IRCC claims that they continuously assess the automated tools to make sure they are operating properly and in line with their intended use, keeping consistency with applications that go through a careful human review.
The immigration authorities made it clear that only an IRCC officer has the right to deny a request; automated systems cannot refuse or advise denial of requests.
According to the IRCC, the main goal of using automated technologies for processing PGWPs is to take care of the majority of clerical and repetitive activities related to application sorting. Officers can now concentrate on reviewing applications and reaching decisions thanks to this.
What Is The Process Of Automation?
Using criteria set by IRCC officers and derived from the program’s legal and regulatory requirements, the tools classify applications. The system will send files to the relevant officers for further processing once automation is in place, taking into account the capabilities of the office and the officer’s experience.
The tools also have an eligibility feature that detects applications that should be processed more quickly and efficiently, speeding up the workflow.
These tools evaluate whether a case is routine during application assessment and establish a candidate’s eligibility for a work permit extension or PGWP using standards established by IRCC officers.
The application is then given to an official who will check the applicant’s eligibility for entry into Canada and make the final judgement.
Applications that were not automatically deemed eligible by the tools may still be manually approved after being examined by an officer, according to a statement from the IRCC.
