Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)

The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) is a part of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada that reviews decisions made by immigration authorities. If someone is denied entry, visas, or temporary or permanent residence, they can appeal these decisions to the IAD. The division provides a fair hearing where appellants can present their case and evidence. Its goal is to ensure that immigration decisions are accurate and just, considering individual circumstances. The IAD's rulings can uphold, overturn, or modify original decisions, serving as an important safeguard within Canada’s immigration system.
