Immigration cases in federal court have jumped 600% since 2020, top judge says

Canada's Federal Court, which reviews government immigration decisions, faces 33,000 immigration cases this year — up about 600 per cent since 2020. Chief Justice Alan Diner says the court still has just 44 judges. Immigration makes up 86 per cent of all cases; 28,000 are waiting. Staff work weekends and vacations. Delays now reach eight weeks.
