Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Gallivan, according to the figures, 153,000 students do not meet the criteria for their study permits. What are the consequences for these individuals?
Apparently, you have funding to investigate only about 2,000 cases per year. In my view, what is becoming unacceptable is the absence of these students, who simply have to suddenly cut off all contact with you. By not responding to you, there are no consequences.
Exactly why wouldn’t a permit be suspended immediately?
Is there a procedure in place when a student or worker no longer has a valid study or work permit?
What will happen to that individual? Can you tell them that, since they didn’t respond to you and don’t meet the criteria, their permit is no longer valid? Does that happen?
