What success looks like

An evidence-based visa policy framework that promotes Canada’s economic, foreign policy and cultural interests at the same time as protecting the safety and security of all Canadians.

Government's narrative on progress

The government has initiated a review of Canada's visa policy framework to ensure it uses a robust, evidence-based approach when making visa decisions. The government is also reviewing policies for managing foreign nationals transiting through Canadian airports to increase Canada's air connections with the rest of the world while prioritizing the security of Canadians.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
