Please be advised that on July 18, 2017, the Chairperson of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) identified three decisions of the Refugee Appeal Division as
Jurisprudential Guides (JG). The new JGs analyze specific situations in China, Pakistan and India, which are three major source countries for the IRB. The JGs are very important tools that support RPD and RAD members in rendering decisions on cases with similar facts. JGs will help the IRB be more efficient, while maintaining fairness and high-quality decision-making. Taking strategic approaches such as this will enable the IRB to process more refugee protection claims and appeals, allowing us to better address the growing backlog.
