    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2025 Timelines

    The security-screening instructions say that when confirmation hasn't been received by six months from referral, the RPD will normally proceed to schedule/hear the claim unless CBSA obtains a delay. The current Less Complex Claims Instructions expressly provide for both file review and short...

    Short-Hearing Experience

    That reasoning is broadly sound, but I would make one important distinction. If the claim has been pending since September 2023, and there was contact from the IRB this summer, that suggests the file is still active rather than forgotten. However, “less complex” does not guarantee a paper-based...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    The interesting part is that once your Final Decision was made, the portal/eCOPR process moved quite quickly. The longest part was the substantive PR processing before Final Decision. Wishing you and your family all the best in this new chapter of your life in Canada.

    Short-Hearing Experience

    The important point is that “less complex” does not automatically mean no hearing. IRB can still schedule a short hearing, a regular hearing, or in some circumstances make a decision based on the written record. Since September 2023, so I would consider it reasonable for your lawyer to make...

    PR Application (Protected Person Class)

    One important point is that Quebec cases can be affected by the separate Quebec immigration framework and allocation of admissions, while IRCC remains responsible for processing the federal PR application. Specially for a Protected Person PR application from Quebec.

    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2023 Timeline

    My experience using refugee travel document to Japan

    Well said. Even though the automated machines are well designed and can verify travel documents from many countries, the Canadian RTD may simply not be one of the documents supported by the system. If the relevant passport number is entered into the system, the authorities can still check...

    The marriage can cause some additional processing, but it does not automatically mean your application will be delayed for a long time. I think IRCC has to add/update your spouse's information and complete whatever checks are required for her before finalizing your file.

    My practical estimate would be around 1–4 months for the next substantive request (overseas), The overseas dependent file continues separately and the your applicantion can receive PR before the dependent's processing is finished.

    Can any of my family from a country i did not file refugee from visit me in Canada ?

    Mentioning that the person they are visiting in Canada is a refugee person is automatically not a negative point, but it can make the officer look more carefully at the applicant's purpose of visit and ties to their home country.

    It's longer than the straightforward cases, but it is still within the range where IRCC's published guidance doesn't indicate that something has gone wrong though I think it's reasonable to contact IRCC now rather than continuing to wait indefinitely.
