Cite and explain the importance and impact of two sections of either IRPA/IRPR which pertain to hearings at the Immigration and Refugee Board, and how they would impact an IRB proceeding. Cite the two sections, and explain what each section would mean for an applicant who is seeking to appeal a decision, get out of detention, be found admissible to Canada, etc. - make sure to specify which type of proceeding the applicant is going through so that you can accurately describe how the section of the law will impact the applicant.

For example, if an appellant is seeking to appeal the decision to refuse a permanent resident visa to the family member they have sponsored under the Family Class, which section(s) of IRPA/IRPR might be appropriate?

Your post should include all of the following:

• Section of each statute or regulation and whether it is found in IRPA or IRPR
• Why the section is important
• How it impacts the admissibility of applicants
• What this section will mean for the applicant (for example, eligibility to sponsor, admissibility to Canada, excluded relationships, etc.)
