The federal government is pushing back against Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s claim it takes two years for an asylum seeker to be given the right to work in Canada, saying the average processing time is actually less than two months.
“They’re waiting over two years, and they’re just sucking off the system — not their fault,” Ford said, describing asylum seekers living in hotels near his home. “The fault falls under immigration that it takes over two years to get a work permit.”
A spokesperson for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada told Global News that, since 2022, asylum seekers have been able to apply for a work permit as part of their request to stay in Canada.
That request, they said, is made through an online portal and includes checks like a medical exam. Once a claim is determined as eligible to be referred to the Immigration Refugee Board, a work permit is issued within two weeks, the spokesperson said.
“The average processing time for work permits to be approved is 45 days,” they said.
Holy fucking shit balls. Did Ford just expose the feds for being faggots by being a faggot himself? Madness!
