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!

Claimed August 2024
Still no any updates
 
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

Regular hearing but not sure when that will be.
 
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my asylum case timeline and see if anyone can give me an idea of when I might get a decision:


  • Applied for asylum: July 14, 2024
  • Passport surrendered: August 6, 2024
  • Full evidence package submitted: May 30, 2025
  • File Review notice from IRB (less complex): June 4, 2025 (with document deadline June 26, 2025)
  • CBSA clarification requested: June 18, 2025 (about military service)
Based on this, does anyone have an idea how long it might take for a decision now? I am so frustrated. any suggestions? Do you think ATIP or MP can help? My lawyer is not too much responsive, but last time I was able to speak with her she said my case is with RPD.
Have you gotten hearing date now?

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
