Artifical Intelligence Usage IRCC
Jul 1, 2023 | Gerd Damitz | LEGAL | No Comments
IRCC uses artificial intelligence for some processing steps:
- Automating positive eligibility determinations, eg TRV applications
- Distributing applications between officers based on the characteristics of the application
- Identifying applications that may require additional verification
- Workload distribution
- Creating “annotations” that summarize basic information on each client to reduce officer searches in their Global Case Management System
- Triaging client emails to enable faster replies, and responding to client enquiries by providing publicly available information
- Assessing biometrics
There are no algorithms in any tools IRCC uses that will accept or reject an applicant. Candidates are not approved or denied a visa or permit based solely on a computer-generated decision. A visa Officer will always make the final decision.
