Citizenship and Immigration committee  I feel there are some difficulties if we completely eliminate that criterion, but I think that 5G can be transferred to 2G or 3G. I believe that if two families have relatives outside of Canada and they want to help them to come to Canada under this protection, they should be able to support them.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. I would say, yes, I entirely agree with this, but we cannot forget that the whole process may take a long time and this program can't wait that long. The people who are affected, the applicants, the temporary residents who are affected by this discrimination, they need immediate support.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm very sorry. I didn't hear anything. Can you please repeat?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, I can hear you now.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you so much for the opportunity again. I see racism in many different ways, especially, as I said, for the applicants or students who are applying from Bangladesh. The data shows that the performance of the Bangladeshi students in Canada—the academic performance and their commitment to the Canadian economy—is significant and remarkable.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. Thank you, Mr. Redekopp. If you look at this situation, there is a specific stream, called the student direct stream. This helps a student submit their application, even with a lower IELTS score. Let's say that someone has a score of 6.0, and they can prove that they can transfer $10,000 Canadian and that they have a $10,000 Canadian as a guaranteed investment in Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, absolutely. I saw the applications that were refused. I submitted over 50 or 60 study permit applications. I found some study permit applications from other nationals that were approved in seven days, but the study permit applications that we have applied for—where the student's ability and ability to prove the requirements for the study permit is even higher than for those students who got their study permit—got declined after five or six months.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Mr. Redekopp, for asking this important question. I would say, when it comes to the caregiver program.... This program was offered in 2018, and there are many applicants from inside Canada and outside Canada who chose this program to come to Canada—some are vulnerable—with the hope that, after a few months of experience, they would be able to submit their PR application and they would be able to bring their family members to Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair, members and witnesses. Please accept my greetings. May Allah's peace be upon you. I am an RCIC practising mainly in Saskatchewan for Guide Me Immigration Consulting Incorporated. Let me start with the SINP program with an employment offer, which I feel has been extremely affected by the racist behaviour of the IRCC, differentiating different countries and applicants from different countries in many different ways.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. I have a few concerns about the family class. As the other member explained—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. Absolutely. Thank you so much.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Chair and members, for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts. I have narrowed down my whole discussion into three different groups. In my experience with—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm still struggling with the microphone.
