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.

Some lawyers see #Chinook — and #immigration dept’s transition to #AI — as a potential threat to quality decision making, and its arrival as harbinger of more troubling AI technology that could transform how immigration decisions are made in this country
