Freedom of Information and Privacy Office Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services P.O. Box 978, Toronto ON M7A 1N3 AccessandPrivacy.MCCSS@ontario.ca
Request under FIPPA — GENERAL RECORDS — ministry-level policy on ADR nationals
This is a request for general records under FIPPA. It is separate from my personal-information request (49774597) and from my general-records request concerning SAIU practices, and seeks no personal information.
This request is directed at the ministry / policy-branch level (above front-line SAIU operations).
Records requested — for the period February 24, 2022 to the date this request is processed:
1. Any province-wide policy, directive, ADM- or Director-level instruction, or Cabinet/Treasury Board submission concerning the Ontario Works eligibility of applicants who are nationals of a country subject to a federal Administrative Deferral of Removals (ADR), including Ukraine.
2. Any policy interpretation issued by the Ministry (not by an individual caseworker) on how the eligibility criterion that a removal "cannot be carried out for reasons entirely beyond the individual's control" applies to refugee claimants who cannot be removed.
3. Any correspondence between the Ministry and IRCC or CBSA, at the policy or program level, concerning the treatment of ADR nationals or refugee claimants under Ontario Works.
Form of access: Electronic copies to the email address above.
Fee treatment: I request a public-interest fee waiver under s. 57(4) of FIPPA. If a fee is nonetheless expected, please provide a written estimate before proceeding, so the request can be narrowed rather than refused.
Date: July 28, 2026
