Hi everyone,
I wanted to share the details of my refugee claim process so far. I hope this helps others going through a similar journey:

  On the same day, I received the following documents:
  • Brown paper (claimant document)
  • Acknowledgement of claim
  • Notice of seizure
  • Confirmation of referral to the IRB
    
    '' BOC SUBMITTED TO IRCC ON JULY 4 2025''
• Medical Exam: June 1, 2025
  You passed the medical exam.
• Biometrics: May 22, 2025
  Completed. You have provided your fingerprints. If there are any issues, you will be contacted.
• Background Check: May 22, 2025
  Your background check was completed.

Could take up to 2-3 years to get a hearing unless you expedited processing which is around 1 year. There are huge backlogs.

How can a case be expedited? is there anything to do from my side?

Lol this guy is only going to discourage you. Your best bet is to search on google, ask someone else on this forum or write a letter to IRCC. I havent really heard of expediting claims. Usually people wait 1-2 years for hearing. Its not bad honestly. Waiting for PR card is worse in my experience.

Nothing you can do. IRCc evaluates cases to determine if they qualify for expedited processing and will notify you if you qualify.

Or I provide realistic and correct information. You are not even aware of different processing options. While expedited processing used to take 6-12 months now fairly common for it to take over a year. For normal processing 1-2 years was common a few years ago but due to the backlog over 2 years is going to become very common again. In terms of PR processing times they are also increasing because there is a huge volume of protected people and refugees applying for PR while Canada is trying to decrease the number of PR accepted annually. The backlog is going to continue to grow. Understanding the process, why processing times have gotten longer and going into the process with realistic expectations is a good thing. Hopefully the asylum process is being reformed so there is also expedited processing for people with little chances of approval so they will get processed faster to try to tackle the backlog and the genuine asylum claimants.
