IRCC has recently taken a positive step toward greater transparency by automatically including officer’s notes when issuing refusal decisions for temporary residence applications like study permits, work permits, and visitor visas.
This change means applicants no longer have to file an ATIP request to understand the reasons behind a refusal, making the process clearer, faster, and more respectful of applicants’ time and efforts.
As someone who works closely with individuals navigating the Canadian immigration system, I believe this is a meaningful improvement. Clear communication helps applicants make better-informed decisions and prepare stronger applications moving forward.
If you’ve recently received a refusal or are unsure how this update might affect your case, feel free to reach out.
Informed guidance can make all the difference.
