Good day. My name is Rénald Gilbert. I am the Regional Director for the International Region. There is no age-based profiling as such. However, when we know that someone is coming for a long-term visit, more than six months, for example, we often ask for a medical exam. For example, we can think of a mother coming to visit her pregnant daughter—as you mentioned earlier—or to care for a young child. Other than those exceptions—where the answer is usually a positive one, because the person can come in most cases—there is very little difference in the case of people aged 50, 60 or 80.
