We're doing a number of things.
Perhaps I'll clarify for a moment. When we issue a visa, it's usually good for up to one year—and that's one physical year as opposed to one calendar year. If we issue a visa in December, for example, we have no guarantee that the individual will be here before the end of December. They have twelve months in which they can exercise that visa. That's just a point of clarification, if I may, to try to prevent any further discussion on that issue.
In terms of skilled workers, we're doing a number of things. We've expanded the temporary foreign workers program very significantly and very deliberately, because there have been a huge number of requests from industry looking to fill jobs at all skill levels.
Demand for particular occupations varies across the country. To that end, we've streamlined processes considerably. We've introduced lists of occupations under pressure that will help to accelerate that process. We have established offices in five cities across this country to help businesses find and find out the process for getting temporary foreign workers here. We've also introduced a number of other programs that make it easier to identify where to get temporary foreign workers. We're working with industry in that regard. And on the skilled workers' permanent residence side, we're also helping them find out where and how to get their credentials recognized before they even arrive here, through the Foreign Credentials Referral Office.
