The cards have an expiry date that corresponds to the temporary permit that someone has received to be in Canada. In the briefing yesterday I think it was also mentioned that all of the cards issued were given an expiry date of 2004, so they were all to be expired within a year of that audit. Obviously, if there's a reason that they need to be extended, then there would have to be proof given as to why the cards should be extended and not expired.
