Mr. Chair, I can ask my colleagues at CBSA and the RCMP to respond further, but certainly as soon as we have an application and we enter the information into our global case management system, it is then referred to the agencies and we are able to receive criminal security clearances almost immediately.
As I indicated, if in some cases a percentage of cases require fingerprinting, then that process does take somewhat longer before we can get a clearance, but perhaps my colleagues can respond further.
