What is a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL)? In some cases, while a Canadian immigration application is being processed, an Applicant may receive a PFL from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (“IRCC”). This occurs when IRCC suspects there may be a serious issue with an application. A PFL is issued so
Our principal lawyer, Will Tao, has recently shared three currently unreleased peer reviews conducted as part of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s Algorithmic Impact Assessments on the following projects: (1) Spouse in Canada Advanced Analytics Triage;(2) Advanced Analytics for Overseas Temporary Resident Visa Applications (known as ROW);(3) Integrity Trends Analysis Tool
For those following this blog and the Vancouver Immigration Blog, we have been talking about IRCC’s use of Automated Decision-Making (“ADM“) systems and tiered triaging systems for a long time. To date, almost all of the information has been released through access to information requests as opposed to IRCC posting
对于那些关注我的博客的人来说，我们谈论 IRCC 使用自动决策（”ADM”）系统和分级分流系统已经有很长一段时间了。这份算法影响评估结果(Algorithmic Impact Assessment) 解释了IRCC 如何利用高级分析模型 (Advanced Analytics) 分流处理访客记录申请 (Visitor Record Application)。 ⬆️如图所示，IRCC 的高级分析系统可以自动审批某些访客记录申请的资格认定部分。 对于这些申请，系统只能确定申请人是否符合资格。这些被系统自动批准符合资格的申请，下一步将会由IRCC官员对每份申请做出可受理性评估和最终决定。 如果移民官员在进行可受理性评估过程中遇到可能影响正面资格认定的信息，他们可以回到第一步重新进行人工资格认定。 请注意，对于有些未经过系统自动处理的VR申请，资格和受理部分均由官员人工完成。 对于这些申请，自动系统不对资格提出任何建议。 因此，这些申请的批准或拒绝的最终决定完全基于经验丰富的官员的人工审查。 此外，其中的一份 IRCC 内部备忘录描述了高级分析模型如何分流访客记录申请。 这一部分比另一部分有更多细节。 这份给 IRCC 工作人员的内部备忘录解释了，根据风险和复杂程度，IRCC 官员处理Visitor Record 申请所实行的分流制度。 第 1 级是风险/复杂程度最低的VR申请，将由高级分析模型对其资格部分进行评估。 被分流到第二级的申请将由官员进行人工处理，并就资格和可受理性作出决定。 The English version is here: How Does IRCC’s Advanced Analytics Model Automate Visitor Record Applications? –
