Thank you.
1. It took almost 2 months from end of May to end of July. After I removed my representative, I did not have any access to my refugee claim. I don't know about %% of completion. However, my advice is that don't rely only on your representative, especially if it is an immigration consultant... From my experience and what I came to know, most of them don't care after they receive their fees. Many of them don't know or are not willing to actively engage.. For them, you are just a number. I learnt this the hard way. My representative told me that he KNEW better than me, when I kept asking him to contact IRB.. It turned out that he did not know.. or he did not want to take things further.. He simply did not bother or care if it took me 1, 2 or 10 years..
2. Frankly, I don't know. However, from reading in this forum and my own experience, IRB will identify a case as Less Complex maybe within 6 months of case referral to IRB. Maybe this is tentative, considering the HUGE backlog IRB is handling.
Good luck.
