For those looking to explain Chinook to the Federal Court and perhaps without access to expert affidavit evidence but needing a more credible source, we would highly suggest reading one of the leading legal scholars Prof. Jennifer Raso’s apt summary of Chinook at page 8, Digital Border Infrastructure and the Search for Agencies of the State (January 24, 2024). McGill SGI Research Papers in Business, Finance, Law and Society Research Paper No. 2024-05, Available at SSRN.
We are grateful that Dr. Raso cited one of our blogs, Three Ways Our ATIP’D Chinook Processing Manual Sheds Light on How Your Temporary Resident Application is Being Processed, in a recent McGill SGI research paper.
Dr. Raso cited the part from the blog about Chinook flagging GCMS records based on various ‘risk’ factors identified from interoperable databases. For instance, it may flag a visa application if the supporting documents appear fraudulent due to shared features with documents previously identified as fraudulent.
We are grateful that Dr. Raso cited this research blog on the topic of GCMS and Chinook. We embrace the perform the role of putting out information to the Canadian public in a way that can assist academics, policymakers, and institutions!
