Asylum / Refugee Claim Refused?
Asylum decisions involve distinct authorities. The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) of the IRB makes the refugee determination, while CBSA handles border enforcement and IRCC oversees underlying immigration profiles. Records retrieval clarifies what information is held across these authorities.
Quick Answer: What happened and how can GCMS notes help?
Asylum and refugee protection claims in Canada are adjudicated by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), an independent tribunal, while admissibility and intake are handled by IRCC and CBSA. Official records disclose tribunal member reasoning and agency intake notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct, transparent answers regarding asylum / refugee claim refused? and official Canadian records access.
Is the IRB part of IRCC?
No. The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) is Canada's largest independent administrative tribunal. It is legally separate from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Who holds my asylum records—IRCC, IRB, or CBSA?
All three agencies hold relevant files. Port-of-entry intake notes are typically held by CBSA, hearing records by the IRB, and permanent residence / PRRA records by IRCC.
Can GCMSFile represent me before the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)?
No. GCMSFile is strictly an administrative records-retrieval service. You should consult a licensed Canadian immigration lawyer or certified RCIC for tribunal representation.
