Req # 2A-2020-11489
I wish to please request documents regarding the closure of the visa office in Buffalo, New York, in 2012. If possible, I would be thankful to access information that might offer transparency on the process and reasoning behind its closure, which could range from memos and reports compiled to justify ceasing physical operations in Buffalo. My request also includes email correspondence from key immigration personnel in Buffalo (e.g. Burke Thornton and Catherine Bailey); Ottawa HQ; and other key posts such as Washington, D.C (future CIC Area Office for the United States and the Caribbean). My overall date range could range from 2009 to 2013Organization: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
