CLAIMS AND APPEALS TO IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE BOARD (IRB) OF CANADA

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is responsible for making well reasoned decisions on immigration and refugee matters, efficiently, fairly and in accordance with the law. The IRB, the country’s largest independent administrative tribunal, is comprised of four tribunals or Divisions: The Refugee Protection Division (RPD), the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD), the Immigration Division (ID) and the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). Accordingly, the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) hears and decides claims for refugee protection made in Canada in keeping with the international Geneva Convention, as implemented through the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decides appeals from decisions of the RPD to allow or reject claims for refugee protection. the Immigration Division (ID), conducts admissibility hearings for foreign nationals or permanent residents believed to be inadmissible to, or removable from Canada under the law. The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) hears appeals on immigration-related matters. Depending on the type of the claim or of the appeal you make, our company learns about your situation, review the application you submitted before, compile the required documents and pieces of information, explain to you about the hearing at the IRB, prepare you for the hearing, represent you at the hearing and carries out a follow-up on the decision that the IRB makes.
