Highest-value packages to obtain

These are acquisition targets identified from the completed-request summaries. They are not presented as packages already possessed or reviewed by MAK.

1. A-2025-58066 (654 pages) – Express Entry officer training and SOPs. Large officer-guidance package spanning the three federal high-skilled programs; potentially source-grade operational material. Government record
2. 1A-2025-01280 (19 pages) – Express Entry category planning. Direct internal briefing note on Express Entry category design; highly citable planning evidence. Government record
3. 1A-2025-16284 (9 pages) – Procedural fairness trends in Express Entry. Recent, focused Express Entry PFL trend material with direct practitioner and research value. Government record
4. A-2025-16813 (55 pages) – Misrepresentation officer training and tools. Operational s.40 training and internal-tool material is highly valuable for evidence-oriented practitioner research. Government record
5. A-2025-16826 (34 pages) – Misrepresentation policy interpretation. Complements officer-training package with policy-interpretation material on materiality and intent. Government record
6. A-2024-28109 (60 pages) – CEC processing and finalization guidance. Direct CEC processing/finalization documentation with broad practitioner value. Government record
7. 2A-2024-05353 (107 pages) – Transport-category CRS / certificate-of-qualification guidance. Recent category-based-selection implementation issue combining CRS interpretation and occupational qualification. Government record
8. A-2025-07391 (2 pages) – Remote foreign work while physically in Canada. Very small package but unusually specific to a recurring Express Entry evidence issue; efficient acquisition target. Government record
9. A-2021-22873 (188 pages) – Chinook manuals. Foundational manual package for one of the most cited IRCC processing-support systems; strong research source. Government record
10. 1A-2023-28955 (25 pages) – Chinook 3+ user manual. Later-generation Chinook manual; more current than the 2021 foundational package. Government record

Methodology

The index is restricted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada completed ATI records. Each candidate was reviewed at the Government of Canada record level and retained when it had reusable policy, operational, evidence, statistical or processing value. Similar requests were kept only where their scope was materially distinct.

Priority definitions: P1 = strong reusable national policy/operations evidence, unusually specific evidence gaps or high-value manuals/briefing material; P2 = useful but narrower, older, regional or specialized evidence; P3 = secondary or narrow statistical evidence with less reusable authority potential.

Package-status vocabulary: Indexed – package not yet requested; Requested – awaiting package; Received – not yet reviewed; Reviewed – findings added.
