Decision and solve the following problem(s).

1. As an unpaid representative, which policy(s) did Ken Miller contravene and which section, if applicable?

2. With regard to raising concerns raised by the IRB Member, which policy(s) gave the Member the authority to proceed against Ken Miller and which section applied, if applicable?

3. What law or policy states that no person shall knowingly, directly or indirectly, represent or advise a person for consideration — or offer to do so — in connection with a proceeding or application [in an immigration matter]?

4. In your own words (minimum 400, maximum 500), what did the Board determine in the Miller case? What sections of the Code of Professional Ethics did he contravene? Explain.

Please use the ICCRC Code of Professional Ethics and CanLii for this part.

Using a specific section of the ICCRC Code of Professional Ethics and a sample IRB hearing case (CanLii.ca), create a potential immigration problem for another group to solve. The problem presented must be one which is related to the Code and can be illustrated through the IRB hearing case used.

Each group is to orally present their findings to the rest of the class.
