Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. At that point in time when that was produced, yes, that does sound accurate.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We have a blend of announced and unannounced inspections that take place depending upon the nature of the inspection we are undertaking.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, we can do that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The nature of the inspections changed with COVID. During the time of COVID, a significant proportion of all the inspections were done virtually. At this point in time, of all of our active inspections, about 46% of them are on site versus 54% being virtual.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We have 28 different conditions that we inspect, and not all of those conditions require us to be on site. If we're doing a check against the documentation provided by the employer as it relates to wages paid, we can do that virtually.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We don't necessarily tie the tip directly to the outcome, because oftentimes the tips that do come in are related to an existing investigation that has been undertaken. About 43% of all of the tips that come in are followed up directly by ourselves, and another 23% or so are referred to other organizations, including the RCMP or local law enforcement.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The seasonal agricultural worker program actually does have some level of mobility in it already. There is an opportunity for workers to move between farmers that both have LMIAs, as long as there's an agreement for that movement to take place. I think the community is interested in looking at ways to facilitate the movement of workers so that it's mutually beneficial for both the workers and the employers, and so that the employers have the opportunity to use workers during specific crop—

Human Resources committee  Yes. Thank you very much. In terms of the LMIA processing time, we actually have made good strides in improving the pace. Year over year, despite seeing a 37% increase in the volume of LMIAs—and that's this year up until the end of January compared with the full last fiscal year—we've actually improved the processing time writ large across all different streams by almost five business days.

Transport committee  I don't have the specific numbers on that front. What I can say from an LMIA processing perspective is that last year we processed almost 70,000 labour market impact assessments for the temporary foreign worker program, and year to date we were at about 45,000 to 50,000. We are certainly seeing a year-over-year increase.

Transport committee  We processed all of the applications that came in, so it was 68,000 applications received for a little over 100,000 positions.

Transport committee  There is a portion of those that is rejected or not finalized because of a number of different factors, such as the fact that the employer doesn't meet all the obligations of the program.... We can certainly come back with additional details in terms of that breakdown.
