Modernized functional guidance for medical requirements

In support of transparency efforts, this section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by CIC staff as a courtesy to stakeholders.

If you use the manuals and operational bulletins regularly, you will notice that there has been a significant change to the way Refugee Protection guidance now looks. In the long run, finding the right information will be easier and faster.

Transitioning to the new format

Information that used to be found in the IR and OP manuals is now found in a new location. The table below illustrates at a high level where you can find content now.
