The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) is developing new IAD Rules.

The new Rules will support the IAD in better fulfilling its mandate to make well-reasoned decisions fairly and efficiently. It will also directly benefit the parties of IAD proceedings by:

• Enabling shorter wait times as a result of earlier disclosure, focus on informal resolution and modernizing how clients access the tribunal; and
• Enhancing access to justice through plain language, active adjudication (where appropriate) and reinforcing informal resolution practices.

• The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) has a set of divisional rules for each of its tribunals which establishes the practices and required procedures for each division. Rules provide direction to decision-makers and serve to direct users of the tribunals in their presentation of cases before the IRB.

• The IAD Rules establish the processes to be followed in appeals on immigration-related matters before the IAD.
