Protected Person timeline after Less Complex File Review - Afghanistan claimant

[Stan_]

Hello everyone,
I’m hoping to hear from people who have gone through a Less Complex File Review and can share their real timelines, especially Afghan claimants.

Here are my details:

• Country of origin: Afghanistan
• Refugee claim filed: June 16, 2025
• IRCC eligibility interview: Early July 03, 2025
• Security/background checks: Completed
• Less Complex File Review request received: November 04, 2025
• Deadline to respond: November 27, 2025
• Less Complex File Review submitted: November 27, 2025
• Documents submitted: Full personal narrative, supporting evidence, country conditions, and explanations as requested

My lawyer has advised that my case is considered straightforward and that decisions after Less Complex File Review are usually made in weeks, not months, but I would really appreciate hearing from people who have already gone through this stage.

My questions:

1. How long after submitting the Less Complex File Review did you receive a decision?
2. Did you receive the decision by mail or online first?
3. After becoming a Protected Person, how long did it take you to apply for and receive the Refugee Travel Document?

Any shared timelines or experiences would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance to everyone who replies.
