We have public policy measures in place that allow Hong Kongers to stay in Canada as students or workers. We set up a special process that gives Hong Kongers the right to stay here as permanent residents.
The public policy has been in place since 2021, and it will be in effect until 2025. Through the policy, we have already received more than 20,000 applications for permanent residency through these two pathways, streams A and B. We have already accepted close to 8,000 applications, which were made in person.
