Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's a good question. I'll need Mr. Mills' help.

December 2nd, 2020Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thanks. On the lower targets, I'm looking at the multi-year levels plan now. Because we have a higher number for 2021, we wanted to make sure that there was a range. Also we're dealing with many unknowns for 2021, one of which is when the border will reopen. That's been a parti

December 2nd, 2020Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think we're struggling with very similar terms, and I worry a bit about that in the advice that's coming back. Regarding the Dublin visa application centre, I'll get back to the committee.

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Let me begin by wishing you, Madam Chair, a happy International Women's Day. To the honourable member, congratulations on his appointment as our critic.

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That depends on country conditions. I'll start there. If we take the example of India, a lot of the services that were closed in India in 2020 have reopened now. Our visa application centres have reopened now. We have Canada-based staff back in all our offices in India.

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I appreciate the comment. We're happy to look into this with you as well. We can give you our best estimates on when things may reopen, but I would caution again that this does depend on country conditions.

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Let me just talk a little bit about that express entry draw and the Canada experience class. We believe that well over 90% of everybody we drew in that class are here in Canada and are working. Everybody who got drawn in the round in February meets our minimum criteria. I want to

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We do have a small self-employed category. Generally, people aren't in Canada when they apply under that, but we can certainly look at criteria that are there for the Canada experience class. We're always looking to improve our operations. We can look at that.

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I can't speak for my colleagues at CBSA. As for data breaches at IRCC in the last six months, no, I am not aware of any.

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I want to come back to something the minister said, which is that we are soberly aware of the risks. One of the risk mitigation measures that's there is that our information is now handled electronically, as it comes in. We have a number of other risk mitigation protocols in the

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much for your question and your comments. It's very kind. I'll be happy to pass that on. On parents and grandparents, we have a difficult task ahead of us. We have launched a successful round or successful draw under the parents and grandparents program, fully su

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for that. We are pleased with the success we've had around our digitization efforts on the citizenship side with virtual ceremonies, but also with an online citizenship test. We are expanding the number that we are bringing in under that—I think we were moving to 5,000

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. I am not aware of any data breach when it comes to this. I would add, Madam Chair, that we continually monitor as we do with all these application centres. Since 2018, we've had 23 site visits to these application centres in China. We regularly go through the series

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for your question. I'd also like to thank you for your comments. I will confirm that, no, what we count is landing, so even though we may have completed the file or finalized the file, we don't count them until they have landed, until people are here.

March 8th, 2021Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't think I have it, Madam Chair, in front of me. Just let me double-check with my colleagues. Mr. Mills or Ms. Campbell Jarvis, do either of you have it? We'll have to get back to you on that.
