The temporary suspension of removal was put in place by the Canadian government to respond to Haiti.... It was more or less the same event as the U.S. protection status. It was lifted with a series of amnesties—I'll use the word loosely—attached to it, where we encouraged people, we reached out to community organizations, and we thinned out and made our forms less complex for those individuals who had been here, had established themselves in communities like Montreal, Ottawa, or Toronto.
We allowed them to come into the humanitarian and compassionate application process. We very much worked with organizations to help people be aware, to show them how how to fill out the forms, and to reduce the size of the forms. That was extended several times. I don't know the exact uptake of individuals who went through the humanitarian and compassionate stream, but that was certainly something we did to encourage people, largely because people were telling us that they were well established in Canada and they just wanted to make sure that they could get on a pathway to permanent residency and maybe citizenship. That was designed to help them get on that path.
