Considerations

The hearings in the sample were proportionally representative of the general population for region and language.

While the majority of the IAD’s finalizations are reserved for written decisions, the sample focused on oral decisions. Residency obligation cases are over-represented in the sample as they have a higher rate of oral decisions. The next quality review will have a greater focus on written decisions.
