FESS. Front end Screen Security

[Kazmi786]

Hello everyone.. I hope that you are all doing well..

I submitted my refugee claim in 2022

My case is still pending the completion of the front-end security screening (more than 15 months since it was referred to IRB).

I've called IRB 4-5 times over the past few months. Every time I would be given the same response: No update, we (IRB) are still waiting for the completion of the front-end security screening. One IRB officer suggested that I send a webform to IRCC in an attempt to push things.. I did. IRCC replied to me confirming that my file is still in process.

IRB told me several times that taking such a long time for the front-end security screening has been actually quite normal, taking into account the huge backlog of refugee claims (273,000 refugee claims by pending determination by IRB by the end of 2024).


Are there refugee claimants like me whose cases are stuck pending

Is there anything that I can do to get the front-end security screening to be completed?

Should I continue to call IRB on a weekly basis?
Should I continue to send a webform to IRCC like on a monthly basis?

Can I contact CBSA or any other security-related organization to try to get an update?

Please advise.

Thank you all.

Why are the first two posts in the thread exactly the same? It struck me as odd. Only the dates have been changed.

When did the FESS actually start? That is an important piece of information.

You can ask your MP to follow-up but that is unlikely to help but worth a shot. You only real way to get an answer for FESS is to hire a lawyer and file a writ of mandamus. Calling and submitting webforms monthly have no impact but it does overwhelm resources that could be used doing other things.
