Less complex refugee claimant file

[miftah]

Hello,

I am a Rohingya, My family and I (my wife and child 3years) submitted our refugee claim in April 2024. Last month (May 2026), I was informed that my background and security screening had been completed.

Could someone please explain how the Less Complex Claims Process works? Does the IRB automatically assess and notify claimants if their file is considered less complex, or do I need to contact the IRB and request consideration under this process?

Also, how can I find out whether my claim has been categorized as a less complex file?

Thank you very much for your assistance

They used to notify applicants if they were being considered as less complex. After a recent committee hearing where it became public knowledge that some asylum seekers were being approved without hearings through a less complex file process there seems to have been a pause on the less complex file process so young tough to say what is going on and what will happen going forward. No matter what you would need to wait to be contacted you don’t have to do anything yourself.
