Please note that claims finalized in a given time period may have been referred in a previous time period. The following tables include all types of cases referred
before December 15, 2012 (legacy). Also included are claims that have been returned by the Federal Court for re-determination, as well as other types of matters heard (such as applications to reopen). Not included in the tables are applications to vacate or to cease refugee protection.
Due to privacy considerations, some values in this table have been suppressed and replaced with the notation "--". As a result, components may not be a sum of the total indicated. In general, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada suppresses values less than 20.
