The overall approval rate for visitor visas has increased to 82%, which is a very high rate. Furthermore, since the improvements we made were introduced, that rate has not stopped rising. Despite the challenges we face, we issued more visitor visas in 2012 than ever. The growth rate for 2013 is very dynamic and rising sharply.
We have also removed the visa requirement for 11 countries such as, very recently, the Czech Republic. As you have noticed, Canada now has many more foreign students and temporary workers, who are governed by our system in that area, tourists and business people. We are proud of the growth rates in all these areas.
