Citizenship and Immigration committee  The minister made clear that we have not backed away from economic migration. If you look at the figures in 2016, you will see the economic numbers are somewhat lower than they were in 2015, but if you compare it to all previous years, it is higher than those years, so it's higher than 2014, 2013, 2012, etc.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I do not have that information. It may be better put to ESDC, which is really the custodian of looking at the labour market.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We've issued approximately 20,700 spousal open work permits since that was permitted, which I believe started at the end of December 2014, on December 22, 2014. That has been a valuable component for those who are awaiting finalization of their applications. It has allowed them to work and to become better settled within Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Not that I am aware of.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Again, not that I am aware of.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The age of dependency was under 19 years of age, so it had an impact on the numbers of people who would be included in the various categories. I'm not aware of other impacts there.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm sorry, I do not have that information with me.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, we'll look into that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In fact, I believe it's just over 20,000 live-in caregivers this year, which is a significant number and has allowed us to bring down the inventory considerably. The inventory is still significant in that program, but it has come down dramatically over the last few years.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The backlog on August 2016 was 12,188 cases, or 33,866 persons. One of the things we're noticing, in fact, with the live-in caregiver program is that, as we are processing cases, more dependants are becoming part of them. While the number of cases we're dealing with is coming down, the actual number of people we're dealing with within that program, because of the dependants, is actually going up a little bit.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Not dramatically since June, no, it's not come down significantly at this stage.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I believe it's still around that figure. I don't have the precise figure with me.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, I think it might be easier to submit it to the clerk.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There's no question that is the case, and yes, we can provide some of that information. As I've said, I think you're going to see more and more of an homogenization of the processing times for various nationalities as we do more and more processing within Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, clearly, I'm not sure exactly what is available, but we will certainly do our best to provide that information.
