Citizenship and Immigration committee Well, the task force reviews all cases. When a person is here on a temporary basis, we immediately award a temporary resident permit immediately after having determined that the person is a genuine student, and the note corroborating our decision is left on file. So if the person

Citizenship and Immigration committee Those are very individual questions that students should be discussing with their counsel. It's not up to IRCC or CBSA to be giving legal advice. The work of the task force is to determine whether there was genuineness in terms of the study-permit process. We are intervening and

Citizenship and Immigration committee I would say that the immigration process is very separate from individual decisions to pursue something in court or not. We can only speak to the immigration side.

Citizenship and Immigration committee On the exponential growth in this program, there's no question that it just keeps growing and growing. As the minister noted, there is no cap on the temporary resident pathways. It is something that we're very cognizant of and concerned about. It's creating, in some communities,

Citizenship and Immigration committee Thank you. The plan to develop a list of recognized institutions is being worked on.

Citizenship and Immigration committee Mr. McCrorie and Ms. Kingsley, thank you very much for your time and your clarifications, which have at least given us an idea of what is happening at these two federal institutions.

Citizenship and Immigration committee Yes, absolutely. Case reviews proceed very quickly. In the event that a student has not yet received a decision from the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, we put a note on their file in the Global Case Management System, the GCMS. If a student applies for permanent residen

Citizenship and Immigration committee The note is left in the system. If the student applies for permanent residence, the note will be very obvious and the officer will see it right away.

The ChairLiberal
Citizenship and Immigration committee There is a requirement for students to let us know if they change institutions. When they do let us know, we capture that information within GCMS, but unfortunately, it's not extractable in a way that we can easily report on. It is an area we're looking at enhancing, and we do ge
