With the exception of this, of course: The guardian angels program actually included people without status, but for this program, it excluded them. I would urge the officials to consider including them. It is about exclusion. When you don't include people in this process, it does exclude them.
Many of the folks I'm talking about are people who are already here. Some of them lost their status as a result of the pandemic, because they have an employer-specific work permit for which they were not able to secure another LMIA in order to regain their status. These are real issues that are happening on the ground with people.
I would urge the officials to consider that, and to give that advice to the minister to include those individuals.
With respect to the digitizing process, what is the timeline for all the applications to be digitized?
