There are 57 migration integrity officers located around the world, and their responsibilities are to look at interdiction, facilitation, investigative techniques, liaison activities. They have several types of functions. They work with the airlines to train them with regard to what types of documents are showing up with passengers looking to come to Canada to delineate between facilitating those legitimate travellers and those who are trying to come fraudulently to Canada. They do a lot of document verification.
We see what the travel documents look like. Often we are faced with fraudulently obtained genuine documents. We are working with the airlines on training for what those documents look like.
In their broader role, they assist CIC at its request concerning anti-fraud activities. If CIC would like to have some further investigation done, site visits, looking at travel documents, financial documents, educational documents, MIOs will make physical visits to different sites.
