Hello,

I am e-mailing in regard to the request you submitted to the Immigration and Refugee Board dated September 25, 2026, with the following request text:

" This is a request under subsection 12(1) of the Privacy Act. It covers all personal information about me under the control of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. I am present in Canada, so section 2 of the Privacy Act Extension Order, No. 2 gives me the right of access. Events that locate the records: I entered Canada at Toronto Pearson International Airport on 16 June 2022 and received a temporary resident permit and a work permit. I entered Canada again in February 2026. My refugee claim was found ineligible for referral to the Refugee Protection Division on 1 June 2026. Produce every record about me, whatever its date, including the following: 1. Every record about me in any division of the Board, including any referral, file, notice, schedule and hearing record. 2. Every record about me received from the Canada Border Services Agency or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. 3. Every record about me in the standard banks Public Communications, PSU 914, and Access to Information and Privacy Requests, PSU 901. Search every personal information bank described in the Board's chapter of Info Source, exempt banks included, and every record outside a bank. Produce the record of every use and disclosure of my personal information kept under subsection 9(1). Subsection 9(3) makes that record part of my personal information. Produce the records in electronic form, in English, to my email address. For each withholding, name the specific provision of the Act, as subsection 16(1) requires. Where the Board will not confirm whether a record exists, name the provision relied on for each bank, as paragraph 16(1)(b) requires. Where no record exists, state that in writing and name the banks and systems searched. Answer in writing within the 30 days set by section 14. Notice of any extension under section 15 is due within the same 30 days and states its length. An answer not given within the time limits of the Act is a refusal under subsection 16(3). The complaint then goes to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada under paragraph 29(1)(b), and the matter to the Federal Court under section 41. "

In order to proceed with your request, clarification is required. Please provide a copy of your valid government-issued identification card, so we may confirm your identity.

Please note that your file will be placed on hold pending receipt of identification. If a response is not received in 30 days (October 27, 2026), then your request will be considered abandoned.

Thank you,
