Status of Women committee  On the types of citizenships, do you mean the people who would have the...?

Status of Women committee  We do not have stats on the perpetrators. Currently, we only have stats for the people who were issued VTIP TRPs. As we said, that's a very small portion of human trafficking. It's people who did not have status when they came to our attention. I have stats on that. In 2022, we saw citizenships from Mexico, the Philippines, Guatemala, Jamaica and Ukraine.

Status of Women committee  Yes. They were all victims.

Status of Women committee  In 2022, we issued 155 VTIP TRPs.

Status of Women committee  I can't comment on that, because that would not be our department.

Status of Women committee  What we do with our VTIP TRP is help to address some of that uncertainty. It gives people the chance to take a breath and know that they are not going to be deported. We give them the status for six months so that they can sit back and figure out what their next steps are without having to worry about being deported.

Status of Women committee  It's not really to do with trafficking, but it does because information is key for everyone and vulnerable people, so IRCC does a lot of outreach to international students abroad. Our website is full of all kinds of information about possible nefarious traffickers or agents and explains how you can apply without anyone's assistance.

Status of Women committee  IRCC works very closely with our partners in Public Safety, all the police services and the RCMP. We do what's called an administrative investigation, which means that we use our database, GCMS. It helps us look for trends and strange anomalies, and then we share this information with our partners who actually do the physical investigation.
