In 2023, a four-year plan was implemented to restore rigour to the student visa program. The Office of the Auditor General came in at the halfway point in the process.
As I said at the outset, the Auditor General recognized that there had been progress from a numerical standpoint. As for the program where there were loopholes, that has been closed. With respect to letters of acceptance, the verification work has begun.
So I think there has been progress over the first two years. That said, there are still two years left in the mandate the department has set for itself.
