It's always difficult, I guess, to make an estimation or a judgment on why things happen in a good way. In this situation we have to remember that people have been in Canada, many of them, for more than 10 years. We think it's fair to assume that in 10 years you can build strong ties to Canada and with your community. Probably one of the reasons will be the length of time that people have spent here since the suspension of removal more than 10 years ago. In fact, I think it was 14 years ago. The length of time is probably a factor. Even if I'm not an expert in this, we don't process applications, but we can assume that length of time is a crucial element in a higher acceptance rate.
