Hello Everyone!

I would like to start this thread for the people who are applying to Canada as refugees from different countries in the world.
I had a hard time relating to different applicants who are in Canada. So this thread might keep things clear and relatable.

You can post your concerns and questions and even updates to benefit and help others with your experiences.

But again this thread is preferably for the people applying FROM OUTSIDE CANADA.

I have sent my application in mid 2018, and I know that a lot of people applied in 2017. People who have applied within that time frame (2017 to present) might have some similarities with how their applications are being handled.
I have applied alone and I have done the medical exam. Right now I am just waiting for the unknown amount of time and for the unknown next step.

If anyone could help me with all these questions if you please.

1- What is the detailed procedure for the coming steps and when should I expect it?

2- I am a student in my current country but I want to continue in Canada, will they give me enough time to apply for the universities in Canada and finalise my paperwork in my current university to transfer?

3- and the most IMP question is, will I ever be looked at as a refugee and be hated or treated differently?

There is likely to be a break between your studies. You unfortunately may not receive transfer credits. Depending on your financial situation work may need to be a priority versus studies.

I see. Why wouldn't they transfer my credits? It depends on the university i suppose.
And what are your thoughts about being a part time student and worker? Just like many international students.

International students have to be full-time students and can work up to 20 hours per week. Yes many new immigrants work full-time and study part-time. The Canadian university will determine if the courses you took meet their specifications.

I hope someone would help me with the important question of ( Will I be treated Differently?)

Assuming that I got accepted. How much time will they give me to arrange for my departure?
Is there anyway that I can postpone it or make it a bit longer to get things done here? If so, how many months is that?
