Req # 2A-2023-57651

Recently we have submitted many applications under {TS2023} - special measures after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The majority of the applicants got approved, thanks to Canada which helped many citizens by allowing them get their temporary residents approved. At this point, I kindly would like to know - how many Turkish people got their open work permit and study permit approved under the {TS2023}- Also if possible I would like to learn the number of Turkish people that was approved by IRCC under temporary and permanent residency applications within 2023.

Please see below: February 24, 2020: "Just for your awareness there was a call between CN (CPC-O and DGO), IRCC Abu Dhabi and IRCC Ankara on the operational impacts of the travel restrictions being placed on Iranians in the region due to coronavirus. The call touched a few main areas: Application submission: At present nearly 90% of Iranian applications are via eApp, thus any re-direction of the VAC file flow will not have a significant impact. We spoke to one of the largest agents in Iran who indicated his belief that for the time being people will wait to see how long these restrictions last and he did not believe that any shift to making VAC submissions in the UAE was imminent. Visa printing and passport submission and return: The agent with whom we spoke indicated that he had 300 passports ready for submission (from approved eApps) and that he would be taking these to Dubai." I want to see a full print out of this call, all notes related to the call, and I want to see the name of the 'agent' and company that agent represents.
