Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I thank the witnesses for their presentations. In the limited time we have, I know that the Iranian applications are from highly skilled, highly talented individuals who bring a lot to Canada in terms of our economy. Employers are looking for them. They want them especially in the high-tech sector and the new economy sector.
My understanding is that in some of these cases, the average processing time is about a year. In the spreadsheet I have in my office, on which there are some 77 applications, they're over two years. Is that the general experience from your community?
