Citizenship and Immigration committee  We have Mr. McCrorie or Ms. Kingsley.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In fact, there even seems to be some frustration within IRCC for CBSA. Are there internal procedures for dealing with CBSA delays? What specific steps, Ms. Kingsley, are you taking to eliminate the delay?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Ms. Kingsley.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Chair. I want to start by acknowledging that we're meeting today on the traditional and unceded territories of the Algonquin Anishinabe peoples. Thank you for having invited me to appear here today. Foreign students make important contributions to our communities.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Ms. Kingsley. Mr. McCrorie, do you have anything to add?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The floor is open to the panellists. Go ahead, Ms. Kingsley.

Electoral Reform  I had the honour to serve on the all-party select committee that studied the matter of electoral reform, and we heard from many experts that first past the post has not served Canada well. These experts included a former chief electoral officer, Jean-Pierre Kingsley, and a professor emeritus from the University of Toronto, Peter Russell. First past the post distorts results and leaves frustrated, unhappy voters. When the parliamentary secretary says that they are committed to strengthening democracy, I would urge her to reflect on how that contributes to public cynicism and hurts Canada's democracy.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  With that, I want to thank Ms. Fox and Ms. Kingsley for appearing before the committee today. Thank you for all the work you do. Yes, go ahead, Ms. Kwan.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If a student or anyone thinks that they have been victimized or if they have knowledge of fraud, they should report it. If they have been working with a consultant, then reporting that, making a complaint to the college of consultants or making a complaint to the bar association would be appropriate.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. The 10 who left voluntarily had not been referred to the IRB and there was no finding of inadmissibility for them. They can return. They can reapply to come back to Canada. There is nothing on their file that hints they are inadmissible.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's a centralized group of program officers who would review letters of acceptance that were deemed by decision-makers to be suspicious. There wasn't an automated process. It really is that, if a decision-maker abroad were reviewing an application and thought the letter of acceptance looked suspicious and could be fraudulent, he or she would refer it to this group, and this group would check the letter of acceptance.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. All of the patterns that we identify of fraud—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Any time we know that there is a fraudulent actor, that there is a pattern of fraud, that does go back out into the networks.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Fraud is top of mind for all institutions, especially colleges and universities, so it's an ongoing conversation with them in terms of how we do we work—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. We have many conversations with them on fraud and other issues.
