Thank you.
The admissions target for this year is 13,750. The upper range will be 18,000.
Our research is showing that for all categories under humanitarian, only 65% actually use up the admissions target. I don't know what's going on. Even if they do it at 100%, they still cannot process them. There are 9,000 applications pending.
I think it is a very good suggestion to take the Hong Kong pathway outside of the four categories, so we'd have a separate category to approve all of the PR applications as soon as possible. Otherwise, with 60,000 applicants and only 10,000 approved now, it will take a few decades to approve the rest of the 50,000 PR applications.
