Learning from @AbrarMch and her journey to becoming a trauma-informed #mentalhealth professional, born in Hamilton, raised in Aleppo, became a refugee back to Canada and now is making a difference for many. #LAD22 #MentalHealthMatters #LanguageAccessMatters #cdnpoli

Today I announced new measures that will help reduce wait times, improve client experience, and help modernize our immigration system.
These measures build on the work we've already done to reduce wait times, including hiring 500 new processing staff and digitizing applications.
