The ​total number of applications was more than double the government's initial ‌estimate ⁠of 500,000, with most stemming from Latin American countries.

Applicants are granted a temporary work permit while their applications are being processed.

Of the 609,737 people granted temporary work ​permits so far, ​about 160,000 ⁠had secured formal employment by June 30, the officials said.
11,000 people have so ​far been granted their one-year residence permit.

Around 81% of undocumented ⁠migrants ​who applied for legal status are ​under the age of 45, and 57% of applicants are men.
