Afghanistan committee  Yes.

Afghanistan committee  That's what we think when we have the Monday meetings with the IRCC. As soon as we started talking, we had to give them...not a warning, but we had to let them know that their officers are not doing their job. That's why they are losing track of our cases and we have decided to o

Afghanistan committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to everyone for listening to us and giving us the time to present our problems here. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Afghanistan committee  Definitely, a hundred per cent.

Afghanistan committee  It's huge. It's unthinkable. That's what we have been mentioning. The IRCC is keeping us busy with forms and all the screening and everything.

Afghanistan committee  There are many. There are many people in contact with what they used to call their “mentors”, and they still are. Their mentors are doing their best from this side, but all the problems are coming from IRCC and immigration. It's not being coordinated correctly, and it's not bei

Afghanistan committee  For me, it was three months in 2012.

Afghanistan committee  There are so many. Personally, I know of five of my friends who were interpreters. Some of them have their documents. One who I know of burned his documents. We burned my personal documents. There are five people I know who have applied to this process but they have received noth
