Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. I have to say that I struggle with that question. You have to ask yourself what we are looking at when we approve student applications. The first thing we're looking at is if this person really wants to come to Canada to study. Where is their accepta

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Actually, it depends on the country of origin. There are different approval rates for different countries, but we're looking at the same things when we go through this. Can you support yourself? Are you showing us an intention that if things don't work out for you in Canada, y

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. Yes. The quick answer is that we are always looking at ways we can improve the program and, frankly, at ways the pilot has told us the program doesn't work. We'll continue to examine that, and we'll continue to push on that. I'd just encourage the honourable member to

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We'll have to come back on that one.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  On this one, the monies that are there, we worked heavily with the provinces and territories, and I think the system we have is very user friendly at the end. I live in Ontario, so if I look at my Ontario proof of vaccination credential that was issued by the provincial governm

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think there will probably be more that comes through in mains and supplementary estimates around this in future years, but I believe that's covered.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's part of our backlog reduction strategy, to be able to bring the timelines for that super visa way back down into our service standards. Now that the border has reopened for discretionary travel and parents and grandparents are able to come on that super visa, we need to ge

Afghanistan committee  I have it, Minister, if you'd like it.

Afghanistan committee  Minister, we have 14,818 applications, and that's by individual.

Afghanistan committee  Of those applications, we have approved more than 10,000. Of those, 5,644 are here in Canada and resettled. We have another almost 5,000 in our landing inventory, which means they've been approved. The rest of those applications are at various stages of review and processing.

Afghanistan committee  With the exodus from Kabul, we were able to resettle about 3,700 initially. I'll have to double-check whether all of them fall into that same category of special immigration measures that we put in place, but the majority of those would fall into that category.

Afghanistan committee  They were all Afghans, Mr. Chong.

Afghanistan committee  That's correct.

Afghanistan committee  I have some, but I don't have it all. We have moved temporary duty officers into the region. We do them in rotations now to keep up that work. We have reprioritized staff from other lines of business to work on these particular lines of business, but for the exact number that we
