December 7th, 2020Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. We had to transform or adapt a considerable number of things because of the pandemic. We are currently studying the pros and cons in each case. We intend to keep everything that improved our processes, approaches, policies and activities. Take the ci

December 7th, 2020Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. A number of changes have proved to be very effective. Our decision to keep any of those changes is made in terms of the advantages they represent for our clients. I will ask my colleague Daniel Mills to add some examples to illustrate the way in whic

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you Madam Chair. Perhaps I could add a few details to that response. With respect to caregivers and the language issue, the pilot does run until 2024. We will be considering next steps. I would note that—

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's not exactly what I was implying, Ms. Kwan. That would be a decision and a question for the minister. I was simply noting that to add what Ms. Xavier has noted that we continue to study this as pilot and to assess how things are proceeding. I would note that with respect t

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The global skills strategy has been absolutely instrumental in attracting high-skilled talent. We have very impressive numbers, and some of this is shared with colleagues at ESDC through the global skills stream. In terms of efforts moving forward, we look at this taken togethe

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair and members of the committee, for inviting us here today. I will take a few moments to make some opening remarks, and after that, we would be happy to take your questions. As the committee is aware, immigration is crucial to Canada's recovery fr

May 12th, 2021Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There's always a lot for us to assess in terms of client behaviour when we start a new program. I think one of the reasons why we saw such a strong uptake by the international graduates is that we've already seen quite a strong uptake in the past. What I mean by that is that, if

May 12th, 2021Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Certainly. I'll begin, and I think my colleague, Mr. Mills, may have some comments on the efficiency. The pandemic has really encouraged a lot of innovation, some of it forced by necessity. As I think the deputy minister noted before CIMM, a lot of those innovations and efficien

May 12th, 2021Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for your question. I'd like to respond to a couple of points. We have indeed included a francophone stream in the new pathway. We are watching this very closely to see the level of interest, and we're certainly hopeful that the response will be strong. Unlike the ot

May 12th, 2021Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Those are some interesting suggestions and ideas from the honourable member. At the moment, the pathways are a special one-time, six-month measure. In terms of processing those for this year, that's something to which my colleague Mr. Mills could speak, but I would certainly sha

May 12th, 2021Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Certainly the way we are looking at this pathway is that the principal applicant is here in Canada. We will be looking at the subsequent family pathways. As I think committee members know, there is always a lot of interest in family reunification streams, and through the pandem

May 12th, 2021Committee meeting

Marian Campbell Jarvis

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't know that it's a question so much of exclusion, versus inclusion and what was going to be the focus. If we look at the context we're in, we know that the borders are closed and there's an emphasis being placed on the in-Canada population. The minister noted, a few times,

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll turn to my colleague on the processing dimension, but just to note, the application process is digital from the outset, and that's to—
