Good attempt.
Yes, it's my branch that has led on the policy development leading to express entry.
Express entry, as a system, was designed to be gender neutral, applying that GBA lens as we did through the policy development process.
There is no question that it is also designed to target those individuals who have expressed an interest in coming to Canada who have the skills and aptitudes in need by the labour market. Under the system, a qualifying job offer essentially guarantees that an individual is invited to apply for permanent residence. That's great to hear that this individual was invited to apply just 24 hours after she made her initial submission to the system.
We're also looking at processing service standards of six months in 80% of cases, a significant enhancement of our processing times, which means that individuals who aren't already in the country, as she may have been, are able to come to Canada even faster than before.
