Abandonments

Resolution number
18
Whereas

The CCR is concerned that refugee claims are being put into the abandonment - show cause stream at the IRB because claimants are being served by CIC with their eligibility and referral documents several days after the date of issuance of these documents;

Therefore be it resolved

That the CCR:

  1. Write to CIC to ensure that claimants are served their eligibility and referral documents in a timely fashion;
  2. Write to IRB to request that abandonments not be scheduled where the claimant has not enjoyed the full period for filing their PIF due to slow determinations of eligibility, making reference to the related inquiry from the BC Legal Services Society, which has not yet been replied to.
