03:19Canada will resettle 32,000 refugees annually through coordinated efforts with the UNHCR.
03:28Enhanced support will target women, youth, persons with disabilities, and francophone newcomers to strengthen long-term integration.
03:38Following that, we look at digital modernization and service improvements.
03:43The IRCC is rolling out a unified online portal and AI tools to streamline applications, reduce backlogs, and help newcomers find better opportunities through tools like GeoMatch.

04:05IRCC spending will decline from $5.17 billion in 2025 to $26 to $3.6 billion by 2027 to 28, with staffing adjusted accordingly.
04:18Investments will focus on digital services and efficient processing systems.
