Thanks, Chair.
It depends on the program. With respect to permanent residents, to provide an example, within our express entry program—which is skilled workers, the experience class, skilled trades and a portion of the provincial nominee programs—our service standards are six months in 80% of cases following the receipt of a full application.
Now, given some of the delays I've explained and some of the backlogs that were created during COVID, we're not at those processing times. We're well behind, and we're aware of this. With respect to express entry, however, it is our goal that once we reopen invitations under the express entry program, which is slated for July, we'll be able to return to a six-month standard for those applications and continue to work through the existing inventory of applications already received.
With respect to the issuance of work permits, similarly, the standard is 60 days. We're currently not at that standard, but we're working to get back to that standard as quickly as we can.
If you'd like more information, I might be able to turn to my colleague. Have I answered your question?
