Citizenship and Immigration committee  Well, I do concur with my colleagues Richard Kurland and Peter Rekai who both recommended an administrative review as opposed to a full appeal. I think this is important and I think it's doable. I believe it should be done online. It does not have to have a face-to-face interview, and all documents, if not already uploaded to the application, can be uploaded with regard to the review.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think that's erroneous. The information is already in Immigration's electronic database, because when a new application is made or we do an ATIP request, the information is there, so to simply cut and paste and put it on a letter is not a problem. I did see that testimony and I think that's not 100% transparent.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  You'd like me to speak for two more minutes?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The only other things I wanted to address were some of the issues that we see in certain visa offices. We're getting boilerplate refusals of people who have very valid reasons to come to Canada and legal grounds to be here. I'll give you a couple of examples I've seen lately that do not make sense to me.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'd like to thank the committee for inviting me to appear before you today. I would say generally that I think the visitor visa system in Canada is working well. I reviewed the testimony that was presented to this committee in advance and I want to highlight some of the issues that I saw from the testimony and also to comment on my colleagues' testimony this morning.
