i am shocked and sorry that its taking very long for you guys.
i must say i got lucky that i got my decision within a year. I hope you all get your decision very soon.
Sadly many will wait 3-4 years just for a hearing these days. The backlog is huge and IRB only has the capacity to process a certain amount of applications per year.

Dec 20, 2024- inland claim
Jan 8th, 2025- Referal decision got my brown paper and work permit
Jan 16th 2025- Biometrics
Apr 17th 2025- Background check
After this no updates. My work permit expires on Jan 8th 2027 and i’m working right now. How the work permit renewal works if my hearing won’t come before that. Also i got legal aid to get a lawyer and my lawyer wasn’t really try with my case and didn’t ask for my evidence should i worry about my evidence and try to file it now or i need to file it when i get the notice of hearing. She says legal aid give minimum hours and i remember she told me when hearing comes it’s gonna be $4000. No update from her since. Is it common with you guys or can i change my lawyer mid processing. She doesn’t even bother to tell me what’s going to happen and i have my IRCC portal. I don’t know about IRB portal. If i try to ask update can i just call IRB to get updated or is there caseworker in IRB assigned to me that i only need to call them. And i made my claim 3 months after i landed in Canada, do you think it’s gonna effect bad. I’m stressing over the hearing day by day and can’t even sleep now. I’m really lost in a process, i would really appreciate if someone helps me understand the process. Lastly, good luck for everyone with your cases!
