Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, Immigration and Refugee Board

Thank you, Madam Chair.

I really don't want to speak for IRCC's intake and CBSA's intake; I can really only speak to IRB's intake. Again, they're further upstream in the system and we're downstream, and there is a six-month to 12-month lag.

I can report and share with this committee that from January to November of this year, we received a total of 47,600 asylum seekers. We have a pending inventory of about 66,000, a third of which are non-actionable, as I testified earlier.

See context to find out what was said next.
