Due to COVID-19, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada requires additional space in the Greater Hamilton area to hold hearings while being able to adhere to current Public Health recommendations of physical distancing. The present space allocation does not allow for these temporary accommodations and as a result the IRB has an interim requirement to rent additional space to hold hearings.
The rental timeframe is for approximately one (1) year beginning fall 2020, with the option of adding additional of rooms and/or extending the end date of the agreement at IRB’s discretion, subject to availability.
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (CCoFTA) and the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA).
The Federal Contractors Program (FCP) for employment equity applies to this procurement; refer to Part 5 – Certifications and Additional Information, Part 7 - Resulting Contract Clauses and the annex titled Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity - Certification.
