when information is disclosed in part that means an exemption has been invoked.
The majority of exemptions invoked by IRCC fell under three sections of the Act (source : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/access-information-act-privacy-act-2018-2019.html)
Subsection 19(1), which protects personal information, was used in 38,816 cases (76 per cent);
Subsection 16(1), which addresses law enforcement and criminal investigations, was used in 16,369 cases (32 per cent); and
Subsection 15(1), which covers international relations, defence and subversive activities, was used in 13,721 cases (27 per cent).
generally speaking, an applicant should not worry about such exemptions unless one knows something that should have been disclosed anyways. situations and circumstances evolve over time but it's an interesting observation that something disclosed in part and was later fully disclosed. every applicants situation is different and the exemption process itself is complex (that's why sometimes delays happens). happy to help further; thanks @ahmed_hegazy for tagging.
