The Canadian government is revamping the refugee determination system in the coming year. They need to hire new judges for the new system and it was anticipated that many of the current judges would apply for and be appointed to these new positions.

Applicants to the new positions were given tests that measure their competency to decide refugee cases. Surprisingly, many of the current judges who applied for the new position did not pass the test.

Was your refugee claim recently refused at the Immigration and Refugee Board? Does this new information mean that the judge who decided your refugee claim was possibly incompetent to make that decision? Wouldn't you want to know if the judge who rejected your refugee claim failed the new competency test?!
