Hello everyone,


I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has gone through a less complex file review (no hearing) and can share their timeline or experience.


Here is my situation:


  • I submitted my refugee claim in October 2024
  • My file was referred to IRB shortly after
  • I was informed that my case is eligible for file review (less complex process) in May 2025
  • I submitted all requested documents
  • No hearing has been scheduled

Currently, my application has not been finalized yet, and I believe it may be due to background/security checks still in progress. There have been no updates for a while.


I just wanted to ask:


Has anyone been in a similar situation?
How long did it take after being marked as less complex (file review) to receive a decision?
Did your decision come suddenly without updates?


Any shared experiences would be really helpful.


Thanks in advance
