Thanks for sharing this, interesting.. Didn't realize so many people fail tests.
I wonder if it's possible to get these quarter reports through ATIP, any ideas? Document looks like a typical ATIP response, but it has "confidential" headers? At the same time it was included in this book? Edited by EasyRider - 22 Sep 2013 at 12:17am |

Observations: Non-approval for residency is merely around 6% of non-approved applications; ten times as many applicants were not approved due to failure to meet knowledge qualification, and four times as many not approved due to not meeting the language requirement. Note that in contrast to the anomalous quarter in which # of applicants referred to a hearing was high, overall the number of referrals for hearing has been declining (attributed in this report to OB 407), and generally residency is the reason for a hearing for only around one in twenty applicants (5% or so). While the number of applicants referred to a hearing has been declining, which again in this report is attributed to the implementation of OB 407, subsequent OBs have made changes which should further reduce the number of referrals for a hearing, especially since test no-shows will not (going forward) be referred for a hearing (this report notes that "many applicants are referred to a knowledge hearing without having completed the written knowledge test," which will not be the case going forward), and proof of language qualification is required in the application itself. |

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.
BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration |

This is a good point and struck me as well. Thank you for pointing it out.
