IRB remains independent from
IRCC and the Minister.
CBSA same they are all under the umbrella of immigration but all separate so all need to carry out separate reports and have their own process and procedures.
I'm going to try and use an example from my job and this is the only way i can try to explain.
if you apply for a personal loan and was approved but choose not to use it because now you want to apply for a different loan to use on a difference service or financing then you have to do a separate credit check even thou we just approved you... same company but different department personal loan different from mortgage and different from Financing.
Again it sucks, and we have canadian who say the same thing bout the service why do i have to do another credit check and you just approved me for 10k but each product has a different credit model.... IRCC, IRB, CBSA, all immigration but still different.
Mandate
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is Canada's largest independent administrative tribunal. It is responsible for making well-reasoned decisions on immigration and refugee matters, efficiently, fairly and in accordance with the law.
The IRB decides, among other responsibilities, who needs refugee protection among the thousands of claimants who come to Canada annually.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has the overall responsibility for immigration and refugee matters. IRCC determines claims for refugee protection made abroad at Canadian embassies and consulates. It is responsible for selecting immigrants, issuing visitors' visas, and granting citizenship. It is also IRCC that determines the eligibility of all refugee protection claims made in Canada and refers eligible claims to the IRB for a decision.
The
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is responsible for carrying out enforcement functions related to immigration and refugee matters. These include detention, removals, investigations, and intelligence and immigration control functions overseas.
The IRB reports to Parliament through the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, but the IRB remains independent from IRCC and the Minister.
All
IRB decisions have an impact on the lives and security of the individuals appearing before the IRB. They contribute to the security of Canadians, the integrity of Canada's immigration and refugee systems, and the strength and diversity of our nation. Refugees and immigrants have always been part of Canadian history and will continue to help shape our future.
