Immigration Refugee Board of Canada

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is an independent tribunal that makes decisions on immigration and refugee matters. Its main roles include assessing applications for refugee status and hearing appeals related to immigration decisions. The IRB ensures fair and impartial judgments, allowing individuals to present their cases and have them reviewed based on Canadian law and international standards. It helps manage Canada's immigration system efficiently while safeguarding the rights of those seeking protection or orderly immigration processes.
