You can have an independent board and still be part of the government department of immigration, refugee and citizenship of Canada. There are so many departments and services under IRCC.

Yes, IRB did promised to process the cases in order they referred to it but that rule was in effect for 2 months only and then they started placing people in the loophole by finalizing claims of people who came in this year. That is so frustrating and unfair. Please don't give me your repeating words that "In mean time you're getting free healthcare, jobs, language courses. I'm paying 25% taxes from my salary and I'm not using much healthcare system as I'm paying taxes for. Again I'm not complaining but just trying to give you insight of a refugee claimant life. I was always seen in your comments "Canadian tax payer money" for your kind of information many refugee claimants are paying taxes too and some of them earning more than many Canadian so there is no need to always remind that. I always be grateful to Canada to allow me to live freely while I'm waiting for my hearing and in future I would do my best to contribute my skills for this beautiful country.
Agree with that, all the refugees that I know they pay a big portion of taxes and a lot of them are a business owner who employees Canadian.
living in social assistance it's not a dream for refugees who fleed from their country. it's just refugee phobia
Is it also for claimants?Looks good:

Highly unlikely that lots of asylum claimants business owners that are paying the highest tax rates. It’s just not realistic.
Would disagree that the majority of asylum claimants are high income earners and are employed. The fact that Toronto property taxes are paying huge fees for shelter costs would indicate otherwise. 25% tax is actually pretty minimal tax rate compared to most Canadians. If you compare to say the US or UK asylum claimants have very little support or no opportunities to work so I do think Canadian asylum seekers are not left in a position where they can’t work, access healthcare (more coverage than most Canadians actually), access to free legal representation, access schooling for their children, etc. The system is far from perfect but there was suddenly a huge increase in asylum claimants and it took a while to sort things out and the system will remain overwhelmed for the foreseeable future because of the multiple appeal options. People seem to expect the Canadian government to be 100% fair and efficient. Nobody in Canada would expect this. If you live in Canada you expect long wait times and people just have to wait. It will certainly not be the last time you wait for something in Canada, I see people complaining that they haven’t heard about the results of their case soon after they have been selected as less complex cases after arriving at the end of 2018/2019. @adbcca you would be waiting for over 2 years like @SAMER MAHER had there not been a change in the system. I assume you feel empathy for @SAMER MAHER but I am guessing you would be unwilling to switch places. Given the millions of refugees around the world many who are living in awful circumstances I just don’t understand how people feel so mistreated. Millions of people would happily come to Canada and wait for a hearing in relative comfort compared to what they are going through.
but UCI should suffice unless u run into those people that are fed scripts to say to claimants 
I got an excellent job from day 1 and frustrating is not the word in this situation, especially when you see ppl come after you by years getting hearing and PR.
You cant get frustrated. I'm the same refugee as you and THEY DONT OWE US ANYTHING
