Through the chair, thank you for the question with regard to what is currently the online citizenship test, which began to be offered during the pandemic so that the citizenship application process could continue for the many thousands of citizenship applicants in process.
I can say that any allegation of fraud is taken seriously and is looked into. If there is any particular instance or information to be brought to the department's attention, I would ask that any specifics be shared.
In terms of measures to protect the integrity of the test, I'd like to reassure this committee that there are a number of measures in place. That includes verification of the identity of the person who's taking the test. It needs to be the applicant who's passing the test to meet the requirement. There are measures related to monitoring the test taker during the allotted period. There are also some technological aspects, which I won't go into, that assist us to verify the integrity and maintain the integrity of the testing process.
