The breakdown of applications by status is as follows:

Application Status	Total
Approved	208*
Declined	161
Incomplete	92
Ineligible	55
Withdrawn	13*
To be considered	32

 *11 applications were approved but the applicants subsequently withdrew their application so they are included in both withdrawn and approved figures.

The process to accept, verify, assess and decide upon an application currently takes approximately 15 weeks.
