Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the Auditor General and her staff for being here this morning.
I want to turn to report number nine on the IRCC and processing applications for permanent residence.
You state that you found in 2022 that IRCC had improved its processing times for most of the permanent resident programs you examined. Economic-class applicants experienced the greatest improvement among all three immigration classes, and family-class applicants also experienced improved processing times, with the newer applications making up the majority of the applications process.
Can you tell us why that particular area seemed to have the most improvement and what contributed to that?
