The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada is an independent tribunal established in 1989 by the Canadian Parliament to make decisions on immigration and refugee matters. Its main concerns are handling immigration appeals and claims for refugee status and providing information on Canadian immigration law. Its website describes the function of the IRB and contains its current press releases and annual reports from 1995 onwards. It also offers updates on current Canadian immigration law and the immigration appeals process. Tribunal decisions can be searched or browsed on the site and are available back to 1991. Decisions can be downloaded in full text. There are also issue papers providing research on refugee issues and country fact sheets covering a range of different countries which can be downloaded from the site. Information can be viewed in English or French.
