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.

Guys I am reading about the level plans for 2026-2027 and they are saying that they will approve all protected persons in these 2 years, I am just wondering how? And when?
Anyone have insights about this

Thats why they want to increase the budget so that they can hire more staff to work for more applications

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.

I don’t believe it is related to the number of staff, it is all about the quota. The whole processing won’t even take six months if they decide to do so.
