Mr. Jain was featured on Montreal Now with Aaron Rand, News Talk Radio CJAD 800, where he discussed the growing backlog of permanent residency applications in Canada. He pointed out that the backlog, particularly in humanitarian categories, is expected to take Immigration Canada five to seven years to resolve.
During the interview, Mr. Jain echoed concerns he had previously raised in front of a parliamentary committee, warning that these persistent delays are severely hindering Canada’s ability to respond effectively to humanitarian crises. He emphasized that the mounting backlog is not only causing significant delays for applicants but is also undermining the country’s commitments to individuals in need of protection and assistance.
