Of paramount concern in dealing with all types of applicants is the admission to Canada of criminals or terrorists who could jeopardize the security of Canadians. Poor performance in areas of administration, introduction of new technology, work practices and management of CAIPS and GCMS data bases can result in considerable inefficiency, cause morale problems, and adversely affect the fulfilment of program objectives.
