National Post – Immigration and Refugee Board in Ontario Less likely to Release Detainees than in rest of Canada: analysis
Non-Canadians detained for immigration infractions are almost three times less likely to be released in Ontario than those detained in the rest of Canada, an analysis of internal Immigration and Refugee Board data suggests. The variance in rates of release between regions are so stark that even the most lenient Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) decision-maker based in Toronto has a lower release record than the harshest IRB member based in Vancouver.
