Canadian Refugee Procedure/Guideline 3 - Proceedings Involving Minors at the Immigration and Refugee Board

The Guideline
The text of the relevant Guideline as available at this citation.

The former guideline was to be taken into account in a procedural, not a substantive manner
The Chairperson Guidelines 3 were to be taken into account in a procedural, not a substantive manner: Zidan v Canada. That version of the Chairperson Guidelines 3 concerned the fair conduct of a hearing and not deficiencies in the claim itself: Newton v Canada. That was true until the guideline was overhauled on October 31, 2023, as the present version now concerns substantive matters as well as procedural ones.
