The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is an independent administrative tribunal. The IRB is responsible for applying the Canadian federal Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and for making decisions on immigration and refugee matters. The IRB decides, among other responsibilities, who needs refugee protection among the thousands of claimants who come to Canada annually. The IRB reports to the Canadian government through the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
The operations are overseen by the chairperson, currently Brian Goodman.
The IRB consists of four divisions or tribunals.
* Refugee Protection Division
* Immigration Division
* Immigration Appeal Division
* Refugee Appeal Division (not yet in force)
