The Five Country Conference is a conference of the immigration authorities of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The five countries work together to "enhance the integrity, security and efficiency of their immigration and border services" including the sharing of certain overseas visa application centres. In 2009, the Five Country Conference agreed to a Data-Sharing Protocol which facilitates the sharing of the biometric data of up to 3000 people per year in order to assist with asylum applications.
