This tool helps Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada staff match biometric enrolments (photos and fingerprints) and immigration medical examination results to the correct immigration applications. It uses biographical data comparison to score and rank potential matches, presenting recommendations to officers who make the final decisions. No immigration decision is made automatically — a human officer reviews all matches before any action is taken on an application.
