Mr. Chair, thank you for the question.
I think what we can indicate to you is that from January to October, the department made 6.2 million final decisions, so that's year to date. That's for TR, PR and citizenship. We have seven million expected for this year.Those are probably the total numbers.
In terms of how many of those for PR are within the service standard, I would say that as of October 2023, 55% are within the service standard for the PR program, which compares to 40% back in July 2022 at the time of the beginning of the audit.
I can also indicate, if it's helpful for the committee, where we were with the aid programs. None were in compliance of the service standard. Where we are now, we have significant progress to report. For federal skilled workers, we're now within service standards, so within six months or less. Right now, it's closer to five months.
We are down in the Quebec-selected skilled workers program. It was at 20 months at the time of the audit. It's at 13 months. We still need a bit of work to get into service standard, but we've made significant progress.
