    Background check complete IRB Hearing timelines

    Usually means your refugee claim file is progressing and ready for the next procedural step but the hearing date depends on IRB scheduling capacity. 3 to 8 months after file readiness for a hearing date Some urgent or priority cases can be faster Some complex cases can take longer. Good Luck.
