Australia is considering new rules for people wanting to move there. The government might check if migrants share Australian values. They might also send back people who do not follow these values. This is part of a plan to look closely at migration.

ORG has called on the ICO to investigate data breaches and accessibility issues resulting from the UK eVisa scheme.

19 civil society groups have demanded action on the failure to assess and mitigate the harms experienced by migrants.

ORG has long warned that the botched UK eVisa scheme could create another Windrush scandal.

Flawed data and systems can corrupt a person's immigration status, especially as there's no offline way to prove it.

Tell your MP this needs to change ⬇️

ORG collaborated on a recent report that revealed the emotional harm caused by digital immigration status.

Migrants are reliant on a faulty system to prove their right to live and work in the UK, which costs them greatly in their daily lives.

This year, ORG exposed the harms of the UK eVisa scheme ⚠️

Errors and glitches in this system have left migrants unable to prove their immigration status.

ORG calls on the Home Office to provide physical proof to alleviate anxiety.

"The [UK] Home Office failed to assess the risks that a digital-only [eVisa] scheme brings, particularly for those who are vulnerable, older, or disabled. It is also misleading in its assessment of the scheme as digital by default.”

#ico #evisa #migrants #migrantrights #immigration #ukpolitics #ukpol

People have found inaccurate personal details on their eVisas, including photos, names, visa end dates or even passport numbers.

The glitchy system has left people unable to prove their right to work, rent, study, travel, or access essential services.

The ICO must investigate the UK eVisa scheme.

#evisa #migrants #migrantrights #immigration #homeoffice #ico #ukpolitics #ukpol

The UK eVisa scheme has unravelled with avoidable consequences to the lives of migrants.

One thing the Home Office can do is to introduce a secure physical backup that's accessible offline in the event of digital system failure.

https://action.openrightsgroup.org/write-your-mp-allow-physical-proof-immigration-status

#evisa #migrants #migrantrights #immigration #homeoffice #ico #ukpolitics #ukpol

The botched UK eVisa scheme needs to be investigated.

The Home Office failed to assess the risks of a digital-only scheme. As a result, migrants have experienced widespread data errors, inaccessible design and technical failures.

Read about our open letter to the ICO ⬇️

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/home-office-data-breach-electronic-visa-application-b2881703.html

#evisa #migrants #migrantrights #immigration #homeoffice #ico #ukpolitics #ukpol

The open letter also argues that the UK Home Office failed to assess or mitigate:

🔴 Risk of face images being used for matching, automated checks or shared with third parties that may combine them with other datasets.

🔴 Risks to people without smartphones or who are digitally excluded because of disability, their age or socio-economic reasons.

🔴 Risks to people subject to partner coercion.

#dataprotection #gdpr #evisa #immigration #migrants #migrantrights #ukpolitics #ukpol #homeoffice

The UK eVisa scheme has been riddled with data errors. This represents a huge breach of sensitive data and a system failure.

Migrants are prevented from proving their legal status and locked out of accounts with little Home Office support.

They can't prove their right to work, rent, study, travel or access services. The DPIA should have identified and mitigated these risks.

#dataprotection #gdpr #evisa #immigration #migrants #migrantrights #ico #ukpolitics #ukpol #homeoffice

"“In its DPIA, the [UK] Home Office failed to assess the risks that a digital only scheme brings."

“If the Home Office had identified some of these risks [of the eVisa scheme], migrants may not have experienced the same levels of distress and hardship that we have seen over the last year."

"The Information Commissioner's Office must investigate.”

🗣️ @sarahalsherif for ORG.

#dataprotection #gdpr #evisa #immigration #migrants #migrantrights #ukpolitics #ukpol #homeoffice #ico

The UK Home Office can take immediate steps to reduce the anxiety that migrants are experiencing.

Migrants need the safety of a physical or digital back up so they can prove their status in any circumstances.

Write to your MP to stop the eVisa scandal ⬇️

https://action.openrightsgroup.org/write-your-mp-allow-physical-proof-immigration-status

#dataprotection #gdpr #evisa #immigration #migrants #migrantrights #ukpolitics #ukpol #homeoffice #ico

The UK eVisa scheme is a digital-only system that checks immigration status in real time.

The DPIA is misleading. It claims eVisas are part of a 'digital by default' transformation that people can choose to use.

But it removes all physical documentation and users can't opt out of digital methods.

#dataprotection #gdpr #evisa #immigration #migrants #migrantrights #ico #ukpolitics #ukpol #homeoffice

The UK Home Office has failed migrants.

The eVisa scheme is founded on an incomplete and misleading Data Protection Impact Assessment, meaning foreseeable risks were not mitigated.

ORG has brought together 19 civil society groups to call on the ICO to formally investigate the resulting data protection breaches and accessibility issues.

Read our open letter ⬇️

The UK eVisa system is beset with problems.

New research highlights the human cost of these hostile digital systems that are flawed by design.

Root and branch reform is needed as the government intends to rollout digital ID to everyone in the UK.

The UK eVisa scheme is the Windrush scandal on repeat.

Migrants are finding themselves unable to prove their legal right to be in the UK.

Bill C-12 is the successor to Bill C-2, the so-called 'Strong Borders Act,' which was introduced in June by the federal government. Bill C-2 was rejected by over 300 organizations from across Canada, for whom this initiative posed a threat to human rights, refugee and migrant rights, and privacy of all residents of Canada.
