What we've done to address the challenges...[Technical difficulty--Editor]. Let me say from the outset that the challenges we face in this area are much less with the...[Technical difficulty--Editor]...movement.
The movement from Mauritius, which is the main source of our federal skilled workers--not the sole source, but the main source--is relatively straightforward and has a very adequate civil infrastructure. Where we find challenges is mostly in the family class, and occasionally with the refugees. With refugees, we don't normally get a good corpus of documentation to review. For those applicants, we rely almost exclusively on interviews to try to tease out their stories.
For the family class, however, we rely extensively on civil documentation. Sometimes we have difficulties with certain issuing offices. We recently were assigned an incremental resource, an anti-fraud officer. One of the Canada Border Services Agency officers was assigned. The position came in around 2008. That is exclusively looking at fraud and anti-fraud measures. That officer has undertaken extensive regional travel to learn the state of civil documentation and to establish partnerships with the authorities that issue civil documents throughout the region. That work is still under way. With 18 countries, it is quite a lot.
We use those partnerships to verify documents where necessary. We have a bit of a database we are starting on problematic offices. We tend to see fraud focused in certain areas. We're focusing on documentation in those areas.
Those are a few of the measures we take to address fraud.
