Applications: Adequate Healthcare

Applications Dept: The group of applicants, dubbed the forgotten of Buffalo, says that about 10,000 applications are in limbo after the office was closed last May, according to CTV. The backlog has left people unable to look for work or get adequate healthcare and thousands of people who are seeking permanent residency status in Canada are caught in a backlog of applications created after the closure of a visa-processing office in Buffalo. The pending applications were shipped to Ottawa for what the federal government promised would be faster processing, but would-be permanent residents have been left waiting longer than first estimated.
