Human Resources committee  What I have is just for CERB, but we can look into other benefits as well. The same would apply, I believe, in other categories, but we will get back to you on that and confirm.

Catrina Tapley

Human Resources committee  We are concerned about the situation for many of the reasons that the member already indicated. We're working to try to find a means to address this.

Catrina Tapley

Human Resources committee  I have the agriculture numbers in front of me. Other numbers will be down considerably to what they have been in previous years, given difficulties travelling. No, I don't have those exact projections in front of me.

Human Resources committee  Mr. Dumas, would you have that, by any chance?

May 8th, 2020Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Human Resources committee  Mr. Chair, we work closely with our provincial counterparts. The additional transparency in the Ontario program would be the responsibility of the Province of Ontario. I would add that we have continued with express entry draws throughout this period. We've done some rather large

Human Resources committee  Mr. Chair, at this time we're not looking to make changes to the levels planned that the minister announced on March 12. I believe the minister indicated this in response to another question. We are thinking about next year's levels plan. We started consultations with province an

Human Resources committee  Yes, as the minister indicated, we now have done one ceremony virtually, and we are looking at making sure we have plans in place to be able to proceed with more of those ceremonies.

May 8th, 2020Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Human Resources committee  Yes. I am happy to say again that we do not consider CERB to be social assistance for the purposes of immigration, so that should not affect applications.

However, what is a patchwork abroad is our visa application centres. Some may be open for only very limited functions such as biometrics

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Currently about 71% or 72% of our employees are working either from home or in the workplace. The number working in the workplace is quite small, only about 2% or 3% of our employees. We are now beginning the process of bringing people back into the work site and, as you can ima

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Both of those are excellent questions. I will go first to the question on family reunification. We are working to identify a good path. We're continuing to process applications in the meantime. The only applications that we put a pause on are temporary resident visas, and the r

June 17th, 2020Committee meeting

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, I think people may have been a little carried away with their words as part of that proposal. We anticipate an increase in applications once the crisis has abated and once we return to whatever the next normal might look like. Applications have been down during thi

Catrina Tapley

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As the minister indicated, we'll have a better update in the fall. I think it's safe to say it's doubtful we are going to meet 341,000. It's difficult to say what an estimate might be, given so many uncertainties on travel plans, so many uncertainties in other countries that affe
