Has everything in it been taken?

Not extractableReviewed 11 Oct 2026

Reviewed. Everything readable has been taken; what is left cannot be read as data (for example charts without printed values, or missing pages). We never estimate values from a picture.

What is left

Figures 2.1-2.6 (quarterly visas, ages, in-country grants) are charts without printed values.

What the document holds

UK Migration Advisory Committee review of the Tier 1 (Investor) route (Feb 2014): route history and rules, visa grants and extensions, investor characteristics, economic benefit estimates, evidence from consultation, international comparison tables of investor routes (rules, amounts, quotas, issuances), recommendations (recorded in earlier passes). This pass added the time Canada's 2011 quota of 700 applications took to fill ('within 30 minutes of release') under a proposed indicator.
