I received my notes this morning and the email contained the following language:
"The processing of your request is now complete and I am pleased to enclose the documents requested. Certain information qualifies for exemption pursuant to section(s) 16(1)(c) injurious to the enforcement of any law of Canada or a province or the conduct of lawful investigations of the Access to Information Act."
Hmm! So naturally after reading that, I looked up section(s) 16(1)(c) of the Access to Immigration Act. Section 16(1)(c) is as follows:
"16. (1) The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any record requested under this Act that contains
(a) information obtained or prepared by any government institution, or part of any government institution, that is an investigative body specified in the regulations in the course of lawful investigations pertaining to
(i) the detection, prevention or suppression of crime,
(ii) the enforcement of any law of Canada or a province, or
(iii) activities suspected of constituting threats to the security of Canada within the meaning of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act,
if the record came into existence less than twenty years prior to the request;
(b) information relating to investigative techniques or plans for specific lawful investigations;
(c) information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to be injurious to the enforcement of any law of Canada or a province or the conduct of lawful investigations, including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, any such information
(i) relating to the existence or nature of a particular investigation,
(ii) that would reveal the identity of a confidential source of information, or
(iii) that was obtained or prepared in the course of an investigation; or"
But what could that mean? My eligibility, security and criminality assessments all say "Not started." There is, however, an entry on my notes that is now redacted, but it used to be on my first set of notes. It was under ASSOCIATIONS ---> ORGANIZATIONS AND ENTITIES, and it was named, "No Partner Checks Complete Application" from 4/13/15, which was an entire month before I even applied. Strange.
Does anyone have suspicions as to why this entry was redacted on my second set of notes? Is this a common thing for applicants to receive redacted notes? Should I be concerned, since it doesn't seem to hint that this redaction had to do with eligibility, security and criminality assessments.
I appreciate any feedback that you can provide!

) , so that redacted section makes zero sense to me. My first set of notes were released in their entirety and contained no disclaimer regarding Section 16, so that's why I was curious.
