Of course, when it comes to the temporary foreign worker program, there is a partnership between the LMIA process and the processing of the visa. ESDC and IRCC work in close collaboration to make sure the timing for processing on both sides, the LMIA and the visa, is as quick as possible. There are massive backlogs that are being addressed.
I apologize. I have the LMIA data, but I don't have the immigration data in front of me. However, I can assure you that it is an all-hands-on-deck effort at IRCC. There were significant investments made in both budget 2021 and 2022 to increase the capacity to address these backlogs quicker, but I hear you.
What I will say, though, is that some of the measures we put in place in the workforce solutions road map will help to address that, by increasing the validity of an LMIA period, which was originally a six-month stay, to 18 months, for example. That means that an employer doesn't have to apply two or three times during the same period as historically they had to. They only have to go through the process once, so that reduces, theoretically, the number of applications.
