Immigration refusal letters from Canada will now be more transparent with applicants. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), as of July 29, refusal letters will include an officer's decision note for certain applications. "This change makes it easier for clients to get their personal information on their application," reads a notice from Tuesday. For now, people who apply using the new version of the IRCC portal won't receive officer decision notes. According to the report, IRCC and CBSA requests have more than doubled since 2017, from 71,700 to 203,476.
