I'll take this question.
The 115,000 who are going to be admitted into the permanent residence stream are individuals who have been accepted in Canada as refugees who came through the asylum system. Often, they have to wait a number of years, sometimes five or eight years, to get their permanent residence. This assists the department, IRCC, to clear up that backlog. Instead of having them wait a number of years to get their permanent residence, this will process their cases a little faster. They've already been screened, vetted and accepted as refugees in Canada.
