Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs) on behalf of the Minister of Immigration: In response to the first part of the question, yes. I acknowledge there have been some initial issues raised by employers in the job-check process, which are being identified and ironed out as a priority, but, on the whole, the process is working as intended. To date, 3,807 job-check applications have been received and 1,179 have been approved, totalling 8,868 positions. Job-check processing times are showing improvement, increasing to 32 percent being completed within the expected time frame. I continue to regularly reinforce my expectations that processing times are met and that processing issues are identified and resolved as quickly as possible.
