Our officers are absolutely trained in this kind of issue. They have field experience in these countries and they look at each individual file on a case-by-case basis, understanding very well the context from which the applicant is coming. Each file is reviewed case by case. The specific circumstances are looked at and we take an extremely careful and thoughtful approach to each one of these cases to ensure that we get to the right decision and that we're not inadvertently excluding someone who absolutely should not be found inadmissible to Canada.
