What happens if someone appearing before the IRB is not represented by counsel?
• While people who appear before the IRB have a right to counsel, either paid (a lawyer or registered immigration consultant) or unpaid (a trusted advisor, family member or any other person), it is the choice and responsibility of the person appearing before the IRB to retain and, pay for, counsel. Some people may appear without counsel and represent themselves. • The IRB is sensitive to the importance of explaining its processes to people appearing before it who are unrepresented by counsel.
