Dear Manoj Kumar

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your emails of 8 July 2017 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

1) I am willing to get no of Work Visa Issued with the History of
non-complying with immigration and employment law under Immigration
Instruction W2.10.5 since Jan 2015.

 

2) I am willing to get no of Work Visa Issued with the History of
non-complying with immigration and employment law under Immigration
Instruction (W2.10.5(b)(ii)) since Jan 2015.

 

3) If the employer was non-compliant with employment minimum standards in
past and was issued an improvement notice and he has done all the required
changes within the timeline and case has been closed with no penalty
accepting the improvements by labour inspectorate and became fully
complaint till what time he cannot employ an immigrant?

 

4) Dose it means if the employer had a past non-complying history, he
cannot employee an immigrant any time in future. Even though the notice
that was served was just an Improvement notice with no evidence to show
that any employee has suffered loss on account with those breaches.

 

1) I am willing to get no of Work Visa Issued With the History of
non-complying with immigration and employment law under Immigration
Instruction W2.10.5 since Jan 2015.

 

2) I am willing to get no of Work Visa Issued With the History of
non-complying with immigration and employment law under Immigration
Instruction (W2.10.5(b)(ii)) since Jan 2015.

 

3) If the employer was non-compliant with employment minimum standards in
past and was issued an improvement notice and he has done all the required
changes within the timeline and case has been closed with no penalty
accepting the improvements by labor inspectorate till what time he can not
employ an immigrant.

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding

Dear Manoj Kumar
       
Thank you for  narrowing the scope of your request, but even within the
narrower period you requested there were over 6,000 work visas approved.
 
It is likely that the Ministry will refuse your request under section
18(f) of the Official Information Act, that the information requested
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.  The
Ministry invites you to clarify your request. 
 
Are you able to tell me what the purpose is for the information you are
requesting? Knowing this may help me to identify if we can access
information that will help you achieve your purpose.
 
Regards
