Sub-series consists of bundles of records on groups of appeal cases. They document only cases appealed (by the immigrant or otherwise) to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, and referred by him or her to the IAB, in calendar years 1956-1967. The Minister, through the Department, specifically requested that these cases be reviewed by the IAB and that it express an opinion on their disposition. The Minister was not, however, bound to accept this opinion and his or her decision remained final. A few cases were decided as late as 1968, by a special transitional arrangement with members of the superseded pre-1967 Board.

Each case is represented by a small bundle, consisting usually of two documents. The first is an original memorandum setting out the facts of the case to the Clerk of the Immigration Appeal Board, from the Chief of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration's Admissions Division (later the Enforcement Section, Home Division). This usually is formally registered and stamped with an IAB case number. The second is a formal memorandum of decision on the case, signed by three members of the IAB -- either an original or (later) a photocopy. Occasionally one or two other documents give formal opinions or rulings on procedures or related legal issues. No evidence or supporting documentation is present; this was supplied from the Departmental Immigration case file whose number is cited in the decision.

The sub-series is apparently complete for the 1956-1967 cases. The cases are numbered by year and order of registration from 2001 onwards: for example, the first case referred in 1957 is 57-2001. They are thus distinguished from the "regular" case file in file blocks 000 through 1999, found in the Case files, Blocks 000 to 1999 sub-series (RG82-A-1-b). The bundles are usually arranged in numerical order and placed together in separate annual files for each year from 1956 to 1967. Some files (e.g. 1957) are in disorder.
