Refugee and Immigration Board of Canada

The Refugee and Immigration Board of Canada (IRB) is an independent federal tribunal that makes decisions on immigration and refugee matters. It evaluates claims from individuals seeking protection in Canada and determines who is eligible for refugee status or other forms of immigration relief. The IRB also handles appeals and reviews on immigration decisions. Its goal is to ensure fair, timely, and impartial processes, protecting the rights of claimants while upholding Canadian immigration laws. The board plays a crucial role in Canada’s commitment to humanitarian values and the rule of law regarding immigration and refugee protection.
