Req # A-2021-54879
I am looking for the detailed operational statistics on study permit applications by source country that IRCC stopped publishing in the Open Government Portal after the 2016 full year. The data that has been made publicly available covers the period of 2012-2016 and the first quarter of 2017. link to the data I am referring to: https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/63858380-265e-4948-8e96-ca50fceca2d7/resource/cc43b178-356f-4cf2-9641-e0dadd6c3eae Past that, while there are monthly operational statistics on the total processed study permits: "Source Countries - Applications Processed by IRCC for New Study Permit Applications (in Persons) by Month, from January 2018 to November 2021", A) there are no detailed data on approved versus failed applications for study permits by country, B) in addition, the year 2017 seems to be falling through the cracks? as there is no full-year record for this year in either of these tables. I am requesting access to the detailed information on Applications Finalized for New Study Permit Applications by Source Countries by the status of approval: Passed and Failed application. I am requesting this information for years starting from the year 2017. Furthermore, I am requesting that these data be published on the Open Government Portal. Data like these are crucial for migration scholars and the Canadian public at largeOrganization: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
