Yes, there's a pretty high refusal rate. I'll tell you what I attribute that to. It's not only bad decision-making, although that accounts for some of it. It's also because the majority of people who use this type of category don't have someone like me helping them. There are people who are doing it on their own. They're well-intentioned church people in Winnipeg or whatever it is, but they're lay people. What you're asking them to do is to pitch a case to the visa office where you have to meet certain very specific legislative requirements. There are all kinds of case law and rules about it that people wouldn't know about. A lay person wouldn't know that.
People apply their colloquial definition of what is a refugee, and sometimes they're sponsoring people who don't even really fit into the category. They probably should have never even gone in that category in the first place. So you always have a certain amount of attrition just through people being in the category they shouldn't be.
