Citizenship and Immigration committee Mr. Chair, I believe that it takes on average three or four months. In some cases, it may take a bit longer, but it usually takes approximately three or four months.

Citizenship and Immigration committee Mr. Chairman, in response to that question, one of the reasons why we're going forward with a promotional campaign is to make people aware of needing to regularize or to find out about their citizenship status. In response to the question about the 400 cases, those are the cases that we do know about and that we have in front of us right now to look at.

Citizenship and Immigration committee No worries. As of May 1, we are managing an inventory of approximately 400 cases where people do not have citizenship. These cases are under review to see how they might be resolved and whether they merit a special grant of citizenship. The number is down somewhat from when the minister appeared, as we were resolving cases more quickly than new ones were coming to our attention.
