A visa officer has a variety of functions. First of all, I'd say that a visa officer would not necessarily be doing only visitor visas. These are also officers who would be looking at permanent resident applications. They would be reporting on the situation in a particular country. They would be doing statistical analysis. They would have a variety of different tasks, so the assessment of applications and visitor applications would, perhaps, take a significant part of an individual's day, but it's not the only thing an individual would be doing.
The actual intake varies from office to office. That's one of the things that is very helpful to us in opening up the series of VACs, the visa application centres, around the world. We'll now get applications that are far more complete. Also, a lot of the administrative work will be done so that we'll be able to enter the information into our computer system very rapidly. A lot of the work will be done beforehand by the visa application centres, so it will be a far faster process to enter things into GCMS.
Then the officer will be getting the application. It may be electronic now, or it may be paper, but we'll be going through those applications. Sometimes it's a very quick review, because you know they're very straightforward. Other times it will require a very detailed look at many of the documents that are submitted.
