Canadian Refugee Procedure/Guideline 3 - Proceedings Involving Minors at the Immigration and Refugee Board
The Guideline
editThe text of the relevant Guideline as available at this citation.[1]
The former guideline was to be taken into account in a procedural, not a substantive manner
editThe Chairperson Guidelines 3 were to be taken into account in a procedural, not a substantive manner: Zidan v Canada.[2] That version of the Chairperson Guidelines 3 concerned the fair conduct of a hearing and not deficiencies in the claim itself: Newton v Canada.[3] That was true until the guideline was overhauled on October 31, 2023, as the present version now concerns substantive matters as well as procedural ones.
