The problem is that we never reach the target. Even though we've included targets in statutes, they've never been met to date.
You've received a letter from some CEGEP students in regional Quebec who want to meet you. I very much hope you'll participate. CEGEP students from Reunion Island, for example, are required to undergo biometric tests before coming to Canada, but those tests aren't available on Reunion Island. Consequently, the students have to take an 11‑hour flight to Paris to undergo them. Imagine the cost associated with that.
Couldn't IRCC employees travel to Reunion Island with the equipment they need to conduct the tests?
I'm going to make a suggestion. I organize passport workshops in my riding. Could we offer those kinds of workshops to foreign students wanting to enrol in CEGEPs? The process is extremely costly for those wishing to study in Quebec.
