Citizenship and Immigration committee  From an immigration side, I would have to get back to you on that question. Sorry.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thanks for that question on express entry. It is great news that we have been able to continue the draws. This system is digitally based, electronics-based, and has continued to work really well throughout this process. The honourable member is right to point out that we have ha

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Okay.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll be very brief. A score of 452 still represents exceptionally high language capability, really high education, likely a master's degree or a professional degree, and really good links to Canada, so it still represents exceptionally high human capital.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll take it, Madam Chair.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'd be happy to. I'm sure Ms. Campbell Jarvis would have given a better answer than I'm about to, but implementation is going well.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. I understand better now. That question is more in the purview of our colleagues as ESDC, but we're happy to work with them on that, and to work on the requirements of the temporary foreign worker program particularly.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, we're happy to look at that, but I don't have those numbers in front of me today.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We'll put a number of caveats around the honourable member's question just because of the imperfect nature of some of our own data sources, but we're happy to provide the information.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It might depend on the specific case. If the member has cases in mind, we're happy to look at them.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If people had not applied for a renewal of their work permit before it expired, you're right that there are then issues around implied status, and we can reach out. For those who have lost their job and whose work permit expired before they lost their job or as they were losing t

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. Thank you for inviting me to participate in today's discussion on the subject of the Auditor General's recent performance audit on immigration removals. I'm accompanied by one of my colleagues, Nicole Giles, who is the associat
