Introduction to ImmLight: Study Permit Approvals/Refusals and Data Drop Dork-Out

ImmLight of All Circumstances by Lou Janssen Dangzalan & Will Tao

Episode notes

This is the pilot episode of ImmLight of All Circumstances (ImmLight), a podcast and digital media platform aimed at humanizing Canadian immigration and refugee law through storytelling.

In this episode, we introduce ourselves and talk about our motivations and our intentions in this new immigration podcast.

Lou and Will wear their immigration law nerd hats proudly. They go through data on study permit approvals and refusals obtained through an Access to Information Request and discuss the patterns, trends and possible implications of these numbers.

Finally, Will and Lou try to quiz each other. We can't wait for them to play this game with their guests!
