Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to start, Witness 1, Eka, and Soubhi, to welcome you to your new country. I came to this country as a refugee when I was 10, and I've worked with refugees for a very long time. I understand many of the anxieties and also the excitement that comes about as a result of settling in Canada.
I have two sets of questions. The first is for the three of you. Very briefly, what are some of the challenges you faced in coming to Canada?
Then to the agencies, how many potential sponsors do you have in your list, and what are some of the challenges you face—other than processing time, which we hear about consistently—in resettlement? It's more of an open-ended question. Maybe we can start with Witness 1.
