PART 5: Transitional Provisions, Consequential and Related Amendments, Coordinating Amendments, Repeals and Coming into Force

§191

Convention Refugee Determination Division

🍁 In Simple Terms

One exception to that switch. A refugee case where real evidence had already been heard but no decision made stayed under the old law, and the Refugee Protection Division finished it on those old rules.

Affects: Foreign nationals and permanent residents in Canada

Legal Text: IRPA Section 191

*191 Every application, proceeding or matter before the Convention Refugee Determination Division under the former Act that is pending or in progress immediately before the coming into force of this section, in respect of which substantive evidence has been adduced but no decision has been made, shall be continued under the former Act by the Refugee Protection Division of the Board.
