IRCC Spousal Sponsorship Advanced Analytics: A 2026 Transparency Dataset and Comparative Review

Machine-readable 2026 Canadian immigration transparency dataset comparing publicly disclosed IRCC advanced-analytics use in in-Canada and overseas spouse/partner processing. It normalizes official Canada.ca and Open Government records across 28 fields covering positive eligibility automation, human decision boundaries, triage, safeguards, oversight and disclosure gaps. Inland and overseas systems are treated separately, and NOT_PUBLICLY_ESTABLISHED is used where the reviewed public source set does not establish a proposition. The release contains no confidential client records, case outcomes or unpublished MAK case data.
