I think they said that only 2.6% of flagged international students were investigated.
00:00:08.020
Yeah, there's 153,000 students that were flagged.
00:00:13.260
So they had the resources, apparently, to only investigate 4,000.
0.73
00:00:18.240
There is now, I was just looking before our talk today, of the Immigration and Refugee
00:00:23.460
Protection Act, the regulations to the Act, and there's Section 222.1, it talks about
00:00:31.140
some power. So essentially, you know, within 10 days of the minister inquiring at a designated
00:00:38.660
learning institution, so that's all the universities and community colleges,
00:00:42.980
within 10 days the college has to confirm whether the student has actually been accepted. And then
00:00:48.900
within 60 days of the minister inquiring they have to the college or university has to explain the
00:00:56.180
enrollment status of each of the foreign nationals that have been accepted and then there's sort of
00:01:00.820
a back and forth and then the end result is that they can suspend the designated learning institution
00:01:06.660
for up to 12 months if they fail fail fail so this is a real like warning to the schools like
00:01:12.980
like you better be tracking and you better be reporting.
