'''NOTE''': The Manuals and Operational Bulletins do not have the force of law and must be consistent with the IRPA and the IRP Regulations.  Cases that do not fit the factors listed in the Manuals and Operational Bulletins may therefore still be arguable at law.  However, you may never have an opportunity to argue the legal case due to the limited and narrow appeals and review options, and so it is essential that applicants try to confirm to the policy requirements as much as possible in the circumstances.
