Citizenship and Immigration committee  My understanding—and I stand to be corrected—is that the process would be the same. There wouldn't be an agreement that would necessarily require that the individual be returned to the United States for processing—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. That's definitely my understanding, in the vast majority of cases.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Right now, as you're aware, we're funded most recently to 50,000 claims per year. We're expecting about 75,000 claims to come in this year. That's an additional 25,000, which will add six months to our processing times. For every 10,000 that there's a difference between our inta

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much for the question. With the monies received in budget 2022, we will be able to make permanent about 1,000 FTEs at the IRB who were previously funded by temporary funds through budgets 2018 to 2020. We are going through the stabilization exercise now. For the

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I really don't want to speak for IRCC's intake and CBSA's intake; I can really only speak to IRB's intake.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Do you mean in the United States?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The testimony that was given by the deputy minister of IRCC, I think last week, is consistent with the numbers that we have seen as well. We have a good line of sight. They share with us the number of irregular border crossers they have in their inventory.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  They not our documents. They are IRCC's documents. I'll just be five seconds. They receive the referrals first and then it comes to IRB. Sometimes that could take six to 12 months, so there is a lag.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Which documents would those be?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're already at the 10th month of 12. They've identified in previous testimony that up to 45,000 or 50,000 irregular border crossers could cross between January and December of this year.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I haven't seen a document necessarily, but I have been briefed on that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, I can. Very quickly—
