Hello

I claimed asylum in 2025 due to the war back home. My process was quick. I got brown papers, medical check and work permits quickly after my claims. After that, my case was referred quickly too. I can see that status "Confirmation of referral" in my portal.

After a year, now 2026, I checked my application status at the portal. It saying that my background check has been completed. It took a year to process for background checks.

My question is:

- When I will get hearing date or no hearings at all (some cases - I heard they skipped this coz they are straightforward and less complex)?

I am waiting to get protected person status and apply for travel document from Canada. Because my current passport is going to expire in 2028. I cant renew even I left from canada and drop my asylum case. My origin country doesnt renew anyone who is within the military age range.

I worried if IRCC will take another many years to proceed. I will be stuck here and I cant out from canada for emergency reasons/trips etc.

You should avoid leaving Canada if you are not a protected person for any reason unless you’d be happy abandoning your asylum claim. Realistically there’s a huge backlog so processing may take a year or two even for less complex cases.
