FOSS notes, part II

July 30, 2007 brings another large, brown envelope from my paper worshiping Canadian government employees at my local CIC office. I wasn't really expecting this one, so I am curious. I open it to find a letter with some attachments. The letter reads, in part:

This is further to correspondence sent to you on July 16, 2007 from J. Kourakos, Acting Privacy Co-ordinator, Etobicoke CIC.

I have had an opprotunity to review the information withheld by Ms. Kourakos. As a result, I am pleased at this time to be able to release three additional documents to which you are entitled under Section 12(1) of the Privacy Act. Certain information contained therein qualified for exemption pursuant to Section 26 of the Privacy Act. A copy of the relevant section of the Act is enclosed for ease of reference. The two remaining documents will be forwarded to the Access to Information and Privacy Division, National Headquarters in Ottawa, for their consideration.

The 3 pages I received show my husband and my son and 'related secondaries' whatever that means and my medical results. Well, not the actual medical results, just some codes for the medical which list me as 'passed.' I am curious why no medical results for my son are included and I am even more curious about the still missing 2 documents referred to in the letter.

The medical has me puzzled and pissed. I remember calling CIC and asking them about my medicals and they advised me that they had not been reviewed. Seems a bit more than obvious that they have the information and it is a 'pass.' Either the Call Center agents have no idea what they are doing or they don't want me to know anything about my immigration status. Or both.
