That's correct. Let's say that we allow an appeal. Generally it has to go not through us but through, I believe, the local CBSA and CIC back to the visa post. It has to get there. It then is redetermined. They then continue with the processing, taking into account our decision. Then they decide whether to grant the permanent resident visa or deny it on another ground. If they deny it on another ground, there then is a right of appeal, and it comes back to the IAD.
My understanding from the letter from the Bar Association is that instead of, in some cases, sending it back to the visa post, they're now going to process it centrally, as indicated in the letter.
