Well maybe they start with the oldest. I know there are people still from 2022. So probably will follow same order but fastest thatn now because there is no cap like it was.
Well they refund if you paid for it. As refugee claimant you are waived. So if you paid, they sent it back. When they check criminality is when they check your biometrics.
They confirm or refuse same day. If approved, they will keep your travel doc and return it by mail. If refused, they will give your doc back same day during interview.
Maybe they will cutoff and keep the rest for further processing. It's supposed they wont accept again or allow many people claiming. So they expect wont have such number of cases in future.
I think it is only for people who already applied and are part of the huge backlog. They want like to start from zero. But nobody knows as they still no give more details.
Dotn want you to be dissapointed but for me took 6 months!
But it is suppposed now they are giving the notice faster. So I heard one month is in typical waiting time.
Better to call and clarify with them. But I remember in the paper with the new RTD states that if you submit originals and want them back, they will send apart, not same shipment.
