The 85 million dollars announced at the beginning of December will help us reestablish normal processing times for study permits, work permits and permanent resident cards.
As for permanent residents, we have different processing times based on our service standards. As the minister said, for all family member sponsorship applications, we've already come back to a 12 month processing time.
The 85 million dollars will therefore not improve all processing times for permanent residents, but it will allow us to develop other tools so that permanent residents can apply electronically and have different tools to better follow their applications. The 85 million dollars will be used for several lines of business.
Our commitment is to come back to processing times that meet our service standards for students, temporary workers and permanent resident cards.
