I had an inland refugee claim that was suspended because of an admissibility proceeding before the Immigration Division.

I have now received a favourable Immigration Division decision — I was found admissible and there was no removal order.

My understanding is that after the admissibility matter is resolved, the suspended refugee claim should eventually be resumed/transferred back to the refugee determination process.

However, I contacted IRCC recently and was told that my refugee claim is still showing as on hold/suspended.

I understand there may be a 30-day period for the Minister/CBSA to consider an appeal of the favourable Immigration Division decision.

My questions are:

  1. Has anyone here had their refugee claim suspended because of an admissibility hearing and then received a favourable ID decision?
  2. After the favourable decision, how long did it take for your refugee claim to be reactivated/resumed?
  3. Did CBSA automatically transfer/update the claim, or did you or your lawyer have to contact CBSA/IRCC/RPD?
  4. Did your claim remain “on hold” during the 30-day appeal period?
  5. If you have a similar timeline, what happened after the 30 days expired?

It may be worth asking your lawyer to follow up with CBSA and confirm whether the decision has been communicated and your claim can proceed. Hopefully, someone with a similar experience can share their timeline. Good luck!
