Yes. The issue of financial requirements and documentation, if I may also refer to the IRCC report, was actually one of the issues raised in terms of discriminatory treatment of applicants.
In the case of SDS countries, all you need to show is that you have a guaranteed investment certificate of $10,000 to meet the financial requirements. In the case of the requirements under the Nigerian student express, you are required to show that you have $30,000 within a period of six months in one year's bank statement. Even if you prove that you have $30,000 today in your account, you don't meet their requirements. That $30,000 has to sit in your account for a period of six months. In the case of SDS countries, you just need to produce the GIC statement, or maybe, to make it easier, a certified cheque of $10,000, to meet the requirement, whereas the other person has to wait for six months and show $30,000 in a six-month period over 12 months. That is clearly discriminatory. I mean, asking one person to show $10,000 and asking another person to show $30,000—there is no justification for that.
We are asking that the requirements at least be harmonized. What's even worse is that when the person who has the higher burden of proof meets that proof, there is nothing to show for it in terms of the approval rate. They still have a worse approval rate than even the other countries with a lower standard of proof when it comes to the financial requirements.
