2024 asylum claimants, Share timeline here
- Thread starter Moavia
- Start date
Sadly many will wait 3-4 years just for a hearing these days. The backlog is huge and IRB only has the capacity to process a certain amount of applications per year.
yes u are actually very lucky. did u call or chase to IRB or anything?i am shocked and sorry that its taking very long for you guys.
i must say i got lucky that i got my decision within a year. I hope you all get your decision very soon.
My timeline:
Oct 2024 - Applied at the airport, got my brown paper and application was referred to IRB
Nov - Submitted BOC and Narrative
Dec - Completed medicals
Jan 2025 - Got my open work permit
July - Corrected my BOC and Narrative as requested by my Lawyer, and resubmited them with my evidence.
Nov - Had my hearing and got a positive decision. Also received my Notice of Decision and became a Convention Refugee.
Good luck, don't give up!

Hey guys! Here’s my timeline
Dec 20, 2024- inland claim
Jan 8th, 2025- Referal decision got my brown paper and work permit
Jan 16th 2025- Biometrics
Apr 17th 2025- Background check
After this no updates. My work permit expires on Jan 8th 2027 and i’m working right now. How the work permit renewal works if my hearing won’t come before that. Also i got legal aid to get a lawyer and my lawyer wasn’t really try with my case and didn’t ask for my evidence should i worry about my evidence and try to file it now or i need to file it when i get the notice of hearing. She says legal aid give minimum hours and i remember she told me when hearing comes it’s gonna be $4000. No update from her since. Is it common with you guys or can i change my lawyer mid processing. She doesn’t even bother to tell me what’s going to happen and i have my IRCC portal. I don’t know about IRB portal. If i try to ask update can i just call IRB to get updated or is there caseworker in IRB assigned to me that i only need to call them. And i made my claim 3 months after i landed in Canada, do you think it’s gonna effect bad. I’m stressing over the hearing day by day and can’t even sleep now. I’m really lost in a process, i would really appreciate if someone helps me understand the process. Lastly, good luck for everyone with your cases!

Fairly common wait time these days as the backlog has grown. I am sure many will be waiting 3+ years for a hearing if they are not waiting that long already.
I have received an email my claim is undertaken by ICAC regular hearing checked and no minister intervention
Will I receive a regular hearing or file review and how long does it takes to get a hearing date
It seems you’re working and earning, if that’s the case, your lawyer will inform you to get in touch with the Ontario aid department that you should have your account canceled with them and that he’s willing to take up with your case and he has to deal with you directly, as soon as that’s done, then he’s gonna make you known the amount you have to pay. When you both agreed, if will make finalization on case and will let you know as soon as you a hearing date is set for you. He wouldn’t want you to send your evidence yet since the hearing date isn’t out yet. Once all of this are both agreeable by you two, you gonna get your hearing date
No nothing, I got Atip and My background check hasnt been completed.
No other updates , I have been waiting 25 months now
