2023年5月26日，加拿大移民、难民和公民事务部长弗雷泽（Sean Fraser）在温哥华宣布多项新措施，加快家庭团聚流程。

加拿大移民部给家庭团聚移民 大开绿灯！甚至可以说大放水！只要提交了申请，无需等待批准，就可以直接来加拿大啦！而且直接发工签，可以合法工作啦！

目前在申请团聚移民时，海外申请者需要在拿到永居身份之后才能赴加与配偶团聚。在加拿大境内的申请者则需要拥有合法居留身份，如旅行签证，学生签证或临时工签。

部长宣布的新政是：为了解决公民和永久居民配偶及子女的苦等问题，人们将在正式启动家庭团聚移民申请之后，就获得移民部颁发的临时居民身份，赴加团聚，不用再等！

移民部长表示，正在接受永久居留申请处理的家庭团聚成员的临时居留签证（TRV）申请积压已经成功消除。

部长宣布采用先进的分析和技术，在30天内处理永久居民和公民的家庭成员的TRV申请。他说，新办法提前批准98%的配偶及其子女的TRV申请。

因此，这些家庭成员可以在等待永久居留申请决定的同时，访问加拿大与家人见面。

此外，他还宣布了一项新举措，将向配偶申请人及其受抚养子女发放开放式工作许可，无论他们是作为海外申请人还是作为加拿大配偶/同居伴侣申请人申请家庭类团聚。
