Citizenship and Immigration committee  Absolutely.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, just for the record, I did not say that they should use any other channel. What I am actually mentioning is that anyone who is able to get out still needs to put in an application for a temporary resident visa. If they are not covered in public policy and they have b

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, we will take that back and look at whether there are any concerns with the codes. We will look into that in our operational model.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  To clarify, Chair, 2,300 are the...codes out there. We have 986 applications.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The control, as I mentioned earlier, is with COGAT, which is the Israeli authority that has to give the exit...for the people of Gaza who are trapped there.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, if the person has a TRV and they are outside Gaza....

Citizenship and Immigration committee  For a TRV to.... I'm sorry, but I'll just—

We do hear about people using different ways, including paying, and they are g

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I was just going to say that we have put a lot of effort into that one, as earlier mentioned, and we will continue to work our diplomatic channels as such.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  To make sure that this was captured correctly, 3,250 is the number of applications. That is the cap. The number of people who can come under each application could be more, and that is why I'm saying that it could actually be more than 5,000. I also have the number for how many

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The applications that have been submitted until now number almost 2,800, as a rough estimate, out of which we have complete applications, which we have confirmed with "anchor" family members, and everything else, of about 458.
