Quotations
Created by an Act of the Canadian Parliament in 1989, the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) is an independent administrative tribunal performing quasi-judicial functions. The Chairperson of the Board reports to Parliament through the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. The Board's mission, on behalf of Canadians, is 'to make well-reasoned decision on immigration and refugee matters efficiently, fairly and in accordance with the law.' (p. 13). The Immigration Loans Program (ILP) is funded by a $110-million advance from the federal government's Consolidated Revenue Fund and is replenished by repayments on the loans. Loans are approved according to the applicant's need and ability to repay. (p. 36).
