That is exactly where I am headed.
With Destination Canada, we are seeing increased interest among immigrants in European countries. With your permission, I will give you a few figures. We are seeing an increase in registration. At the last edition, the 2016 edition, which recently took place in Paris, 2,760 potential clients registered for the event. So there is a considerable amount of pressure.
I said 2,760, but there were in fact 12,760 registrants. Pardon me.
There is keen interest among potential francophone immigrants. Our colleagues in Paris, who as you know are very dynamic, are developing other access and promotion options for potential clients. We are moving toward a world in which social media, especially Twitter, are being used as a more effective way to reach people outside Canada.
We are noticing increasing interest in Destination Canada. Generally speaking, we are seeing an increase in Canadian registration and continued involvement in Destination Canada by the provinces and territories. This means that things are looking good. We have explored new recruitment pools south of the Sahara from our office in Dakar, and I believe we are achieving some success in that area.
