They may be further down the line, but qualified and independent applicants are even farther down the line than they are because we may not have time to process their applications given that our priority is to process applications for those people who have relationships with Canadians or permanent residents in Canada.
Our other priority is to process the applications of those individuals for whom we already have a file in Vegreville. These are refugees, for example. We want to ensure that they can be reunited with their families as quickly as possible. Those cases are even more urgent, as far as we are concerned.
