As mentioned in MI(Implementation) on the CIC website:
My own words: The below in layman language means that MI2 applicants get a final determination from CIO itself(more decision making power vested with CIO in MI3) and VO cannot overturn it without procedural fairness. By procedural fairness, it means VO or missions need to ask for further evidence of docs and not reject an application outright. Hence, if you guys are not sure of sumthin in ur appln, be rest assured that VO will give you a chance to explain and cannot reject applns like they did for MI1 applicants.
Whats mentioned on the site: "There were subsequent administrative changes made at the CIO to coincide with MI2, the most important of which was that the final eligibility decision was made at the CIO, rather than at missions. Applicants sent their complete application packages, with supporting documents and results from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), to the CIO. Staff at the CIO then reviewed the application and made the final eligibility decision. They returned and refunded those applications that were not eligible and sent the eligible applications, together with associated documents, to the missions to be processed. Under this new process, missions could not reverse a positive eligibility decision, although they could refuse the application on other grounds.
While mission staff had no problem with the CIO making negative eligibility decisions, as the applicant can re-apply, many stated that their inability to reverse positive decisions can result in substantial additional work at the mission. In cases where they disagree with the CIO assessment, it is necessary to re-review the application and contact the applicant for further evidence of eligibility, in order to demonstrate procedural fairness."
