花儿都谢了还没消息，怎么办.....
你还在等PR的审理消息吗？还是学签迟迟不批、入籍申请石沉大海？
别慌——你不是一个人。加拿大移民局（IRCC）刚刚公布的最新数据令人瞠目：全国申请积压已突破218万份，其中38.5%已经超期未处理。
无论是技术移民、团聚移民，还是临时居民类别，都陷入了“深度等待模式”。这些数字背后，是一封封延迟的录取信，是一个个被搁浅的团聚计划，也是成千上万新移民的焦虑与无力。
2025 年 7 月 23 日，加拿大移民、难民和公民部 (IRCC) 发布了最新的积压更新，其中显示未处理的申请激增，令人担忧。

然而，896,100 份申请的大量库存表明 IRCC 有足够的申请来实现其未来两年的目标，但积压可能会延迟及时录取。

服务标准内 64% 的处理率远低于 80% 的目标，反映了这一类别的巨大压力。

例如，等待学习许可的国际学生可能会错过大学截止日期，而临时工则有可能失去工作机会。
