First-Out Basis: Day Rule and Process Claims

first-out basis: The 60-day rule was put into place by the previous Conservative government in 2012, according to Toronto Star. It required officials at IRB to process asylum claimants in order of their designated country of origin. People wanting to claim asylum will now be processed on a first-in, first-out basis. Moreover, decision makers within the board had to process claims within two months. I am not a generous person. A generous analysis would say those changes were meant to improve procedural efficiency. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
