Furthermore, the backlog increased significantly for temporary residence applications since March 17. However, backlog significantly reduced for express entry applications since March 15.

As per IRCC media spokesperson to CIC News, the temporary resident visas and work permits backlogs increased because of recently launched special program for Ukrainians fleeing war.
