AI-Assisted Processing of Privately Sponsored Refugee Applications
This system helps Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada officers process privately sponsored refugee applications more efficiently. It automatically approves routine sponsorship portions of applications and sorts refugee files to appropriate officers based on their expertise and office capacity. Critically, officers retain final decision-making authority on all applications — the system never refuses an application, and all refusals remain the sole responsibility of human officers.
