We currently do not have exit information, so we rely on our clients to provide that information. First of all, clients are not always good at keeping their own records. Actually, there's an initiative started in our client service departments whereby clients are going to get a little insert in their passport to keep track of their movements.
We rely on the information that clients provide us. This can be timely and cumbersome. Sometimes, for a citizenship application or for a permanent residency card, they have to submit secondary information to prove that they were in Canada. Most clients are bona fide and we have absolutely no problem trusting the information they provide, but there are people who are trying to defraud the system. At that point in time, we have to do a lot of work to investigate. This will just provide an objective non-disputed base of information, so it closes an important gap.
