Thank you Simba for replying on all the questions. Regarding the last point, it is confusing. Having a lawyer should logically mean that the claim is addressed properly and that the lawyer would follow up attentively and carefully. However I heard several horrible stories about how lawyers...

Hello everyone.. I hope you are all doing well.. I have questions please regarding the front-end security screening (IRB): 1. How long does it usually take to conclude this step? 2. Does it take longer for certain countries? 3. Having a TRV, should not this mean that the FESS has already...

Since Simba has not yet replied to you, allow me to reply to you.. Your son (like any other protected person) should not visit his embassy nor should he has any dealings with the government of his home country from which you have sought protection in Canada. No passport renewal, no dealings with...

It is free and they also provide a Bentley for every refugee claimant :p

Ok man go visit your fiancé but don't stay outside Canada for a long time. If you are employed and if you care about keeping your job, it won't be a good idea to spend a long time away. Maybe it is better, just a suggestion from me, to go away for let's say 3 weeks or maximum one month (if your...

I read yesterday something which I hope will be good for refugee claimants. I read that IRB has been allocated an additional funding, hopefully to address the increasing backlog. I hope that this means that additional resources will be added by IRB to help in determination of the referred...

Hello Ali, Thank you for sharing your timeline, very detailed indeed. It is sad that it took too long from the time you applied until the file was referred to IRB, almost 8 months from the date you applied. Hopefully you will hear good news soon and that it will not take a long time with IRB...

Yeah.. it seems that everywhere the rule is there is no rule... whether for refugee claims, PR, citizenship, RTD, etc. Nothing standard.. some will take a long time, others will be luckier and will get it within a considerably shorter timeframe. Good luck guys!

Sad to hear that sister, I read before here in the forum that the process for obtaining RTD would take almost 1-2 months.. especially if you send IRCC a webform that you have an urgent travel.. The backlog is terrible for all transactions, over 2.1 million applications with the same resources :(

- I received the email on Sep 29 and received the actual work permit after 10 days. It may take from 1 to 3 weeks sometimes. - I tried to apply for SIN using the email but Service Canada requested the actual work permit.

Waseem, in another comment he said that he applied for PR in August 2023, this means that he received approval within 2-4 months from receiving the less complex letter. Hopefully you will also receive approval within this time or shorter.

Hello brother, yes please if you can share the reply of the embassy. For KSA, I learnt from a travel agency that KSA still accepts RTD for Omra and Hajj purposes not visitor visa. Better check with the KSA embassy.

Congratulations sister. You must include your husband in the PR application. Don't worry. Hopefully you will all get the PR soon. Even if this will take time, at least you have gone a big way. Have patience and trust God. You never know what good things the future will bring. Best of luck.

It will not affect the hearing. Canada's economy does not rely on refugees to improve it, nor does it get affected if refugees don't work. However, if you find a job you will fill your time with something useful. If you don't work, you will spend most of your time thinking about your refugee...

@theclaimer Thank you so much for the detailed steps.. Really appreciated.

@Simba112 has listed the criteria established by IRB, so this is based either on the country or claim type. For LGBTQ claims (claim type), the acceptance rate is very high where there is a clear evidence of anti-LGBTQ laws (or even norms or practices). However, it all ultimately rests with the...

Welcome to the club. In the first interview, no questions, just hand over the passport and any ID, 2-4 photos, give your biometrics. Finished. In the second interview, the eligibility interview, you may be asked questions regarding your BOC, about yourself, for the officer to determine your...

Thank you Inaya for the detailed step by step reply. It is very helpful.

Hello Danny, (I sent you a message back in December but maybe you didn't read it at the time).. I read about this matter because I also have a daughter who is 22, same like your age (at the lock date when I submitted my refugee claim), but what I understood is that at the lock date, if a...

Hi. A question please about RTD, a Canadian citizen who will be the guarantor, can he/she be a brother? a niece? another relative? or he/she must be a stranger not related to the applicant?
