This system uses advanced analytics to identify routine and straightforward immigration applications — including temporary resident visas, visitor records, and spousal applications — so they can be processed faster. It is used internally by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) staff, not by applicants directly. Applicants should be aware that an algorithm may influence the speed and path by which their file is reviewed.
