Req # 1A-2022-14689
We are looking specifically for approval/refusal rates for C42 (spouse of international student) work permit applications processed out of the Manila mission abroad. in the past - (several years ago) I filed a similar request and was told the Manila mission does not separate processing stats (ie approval/refusal rates) stats for types of Work permits. It is likely this has changed as you can see (attached) IRCC does have stats per work permit type. The only way this can be collected (in my understanding) is by receiving stats simillar in nature from overseas processing centers like Manila. Please provide the Manila-specific stats for OWP (C42) processed there. My primary interest is the stats from the Manila embassy (specifically) however if there is a central document (that does not require multiple mission outreach) where these stats are compartmentalized (approva/refusal rates by processing missions) we would gladly accept that also. As you can see (attached) the stats we have on hand now are overall rates and not specific to a particular processing centre (rather a combination of all stats collected together)Organization: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
