Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is Canada’s largest independent administrative tribunal.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), a department of the Canadian government, facilitates your asylum claim in Canada if you had not made a claim at the Port of Entry. If an asylum claim has not been made at the Port of Entry, a so-called in-country asylum claim may be made at an IRCC office in Canada. If you have made an asylum claim and are in need of a work permit an application must be made with IRCC.
