Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada initially refused to respond to my request for information because I don't match the official qualified Canadian journalism organization criteria.
Jeremy thank you for sharing this alarming and important issue. Not qualifying for receiving information from the IRCC is deeply disturbing. You are a true journalist in every sense of the word. I am glad that this issue came to light and hopefully the IRCC will study and overhaul their -far behind the times- policies around journalists and news makers outside of the mainstream status quo media. The Orchard is a huge source of Canadian, province wide and local news that I don’t get to find out about anywhere else.
