As a federal government department, the Immigration and Visa section is bound by the Privacy Act not to discuss the details of any case with anyone except the applicant and certain authorized persons. Before the High Commission or Consulate General authorities can release information, the applicant must provide us with specific written permission to do so. Only a Canadian citizen or permanent resident or temporary resident in Canada can obtain this information.
