Establish an expert human rights panel to help determine designated countries of origin and provide a right to appeal refugee decisions for citizens from these countries.

What success looks like

Canada upholds its commitment to welcoming those seeking refuge from conflict and war, while leveraging expertise and systems to strengthen program integrity and efficiency.

Government's narrative on progress

As of July 2015, claimants from Designated Countries of Origin - countries that do not normally produce refugees and do respect human rights and offer state protection - have had access to an appeal at the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. An independent review of the Immigration and Refugee Board and the asylum system has been completed, and findings are informing how the government will reform the asylum system to achieve both efficiency and fairness for all claimants.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
