Immigration And Refugee Board: Internal Memo

IRB Dept: According to an internal memo obtained by the Star , the Immigration and Refugee Board has just launched a third competition to fill the 105 positions in its refugee protection division before June 29, when the new laws come into effect, according to The Star. Board spokesperson Melissa Anderson confirmed that IRB employees who were unsuccessful in the first selection process are eligible for the new test. All three selections are expected to cost taxpayers a total of $500,000 and canada refugee board employees who failed an earlier exam to become refugee judges in a revamped asylum system are being given a third chance at the job, the Star has learned. The board already had two previous selections the first one, in February 2011, open to all federal civil servants and the general public; the second, in November, open only to those currently on the federal payroll. Both processes were open to current refugee board staff. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
