Dans la Balado (Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/54-building-the-law-career-that-you-want-with-dennis-mccrea/id1140657563?i=1000519271090) Borderlines, Épisode 54, Building the Law Career that You Want, with Dennis McCrea, 29 Avril 2021, vers la fin de l'épisode (après 1h22m) Me Deanna Okun-Achoff mentionne des consultations en cours de la part d'IRCC concernant une tendance récente affectant l'opacité des raisons de refus sur les demandes de résidence temporaire. J'aimerais SVP avoir accès à tous les rapports, mémorandum, lettres circulaires, avis, comptes-rendus, notes de rencontres, documentant ce problème et/ou documentant les discussions ou consultations externes à IRCC (autres minist`eres / départements, Association du Bareau Canadien, etc.) pour discuter de ce problème, ses causes, et de possibles solutions. Nous suspectons que les documents existent dans la période de mars 2018 à décembre 2021 - ce sont ces documents qui nous intéressent. Si cela peut aider vos recherches de documents, précisions que nous suspectons que l'opacité des raisons de refus sont reliées à de nouveaux logiciels permettant de rédiger de manière automatisée les lettres de refus et de générer de manière automatisée les notes de refus, notamment, Chinook.
