IRCC ATIP Intelligence Index: Previously Released Immigration Records

Correction notice, 3 November 2026 (version 2026-11-03-r3). What was wrong in version 2026-11-03-r2: copy_status said "READY - NOT SUBMITTED" and the XLSX Methodology sheet relied on the portal's statement about a copy-request form below each summary, but on 3 November 2026 that form did not appear on the record pages MAK checked. The summaries of R02-004 and R02-005 left out the timeframe the request states, the summary of R02-010 left out the part of the request on full-time status, and the summary of R02-017 said "Chinook use" where the request says "the functioning of" Chinook. The priority definitions did not fit every row: R02-011 and R02-014 ask for briefing notes or a manual and are P2, and R02-009 was called narrow and is P1. The R02-006 topic and keywords said "guidance", but the request says "documents". The rationale entries of R02-009 and R02-017 did not say what the request asked for. The R02-005 note said to pair it with R02-004. In the XLSX, the Why Acquire column header did not match what the column says, the Methodology Purpose row said "high-signal" and "worth acquiring", and the Methodology sheet had an internal "Authority accounting" row. What changed: copy_status now reads "NOT SUBMITTED" in all 18 rows and in the 10 Copy Status cells of the XLSX Acquisition_Priority sheet; 4 summaries (R02-004, 005, 010, 017); 2 rationale entries (R02-009, 017) and the matching R02-009 entry in Acquisition_Priority; the R02-005 note; the R02-006 topic and keywords and its matching topic in Acquisition_Priority; the Why Acquire header, which now reads What the Request Asked; in the XLSX Methodology sheet, the Purpose, Free-copy basis, Priority logic and Copy request state rows were reworded, the Authority accounting row was removed, the two older correction rows were labelled as history, and two rows were added (Acquisition_Priority sheet and this correction); the file names, which now end in -r3; and this description. What did not change: IDs, request numbers, closing months, program labels, the other 14 summaries, the other 16 rationale entries, the other 17 notes, topics and keywords, dispositions, page counts, source URLs, query, priorities, copy_eligible, package_received, important_findings, verification_date, the XLSX Search_Coverage sheet and the other XLSX Methodology rows. MAK again compared the closing month, page count, disposition and source URL (rebuilt from the file's year, month and request number) of all 18 rows against the Government of Canada file (data as of 3 November 2026), and all 18 matched. Earlier copies of the CSV and XLSX on MAK's website, from the time of version 2026-09-26, remain at their old addresses until removed. Both carry older wording that has since been corrected. The CSV copy also has a wrong note in row R02-018 ("only 2 pages"; the correct count is 9), which the Zenodo files never contained. One addition to the notice of version 2026-11-03-r2: in version 2026-11-03, the summary of R02-018 also said "Accra immigration office" where the request says "Accra Immigration Officer". The notices of earlier versions stay on their own records: version 2026-11-03-r2 and version 2026-11-03.

Curated research index of 18 completed Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Access to Information request summaries published by the Government of Canada, organized for immigration-policy and practitioner research. The index records request scope, disposition, page count, topic, research priority and package status; it does not imply that MAK has obtained or reviewed the underlying disclosure packages. The summary column is MAK's shortened wording of each request, not the Government's text, except R02-001, which is the same as the Government's text; the official text is at each source_url.
