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.
