In 2009, the Canadian trade office in Taipei approved 99% of the more than 25,500 visitor visa applications received. In the same year, 51,000 travellers from Taiwan came to Canada on some form of temporary status.
Canada's periodic review of its visa requirements found that there were low numbers of immigration violations by Taiwanese nationals, and few removals from Canada. Can you talk about the process for removing visa requirements and why Taiwan was a good candidate for that?
