Naturally, they need visas. The problem is that the processing time is now over a year and a half. That is 14 months longer than in July 2022, despite the fact that the standard is 14 days in these types of cases.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7552052\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Last August, the <a data-HoCid=\"278908\" href=\"/politicians/sean-fraser/\" title=\"Sean Fraser\">minister</a> claimed that demand would peak by the end of September and that delays would return to normal after that. It is now February, and it is getting worse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7552053\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Can the minister explain this total failure for people trying to get a visa to come to our country?</p>",
