Refugee/asylum claimants 2024 timelines

[Chloek]

I have a friend who is a June 2024 applicant, still waiting.

Is he from Toronto?

Hey folks, does anyone know what it means when IRB says that the Minister’s notes are complete?


Previously, my file was stuck in FESS, but now they didn’t mention that anymore. I specifically asked whether the background check was complete, but they didn’t directly confirm that. Instead, they told me that my claim is ready for scheduling or decision and that we can write a letter to the IRB member to ask about the delay.


Has anyone experienced something similar? Does this usually mean the security/background check is done, or could it still be pending? IRCC portal is not updated and I don't have acess to mycase portal as we are self represented

Anyone had this experience?
I applied for asylum at the end of 2024 and received a less complex case. I submitted my evidence in August 2025, and about a month later, I received another letter stating that the IRB is no longer considering my case as less complex and that I must attend a regular hearing. Since then, there have been no updates. My lawyer says that many people with similar cases are receiving decisions without a hearing, and that the IRB can make a decision on a case-by-case basis without holding a hearing. Has anyone gone through a similar situation?

Yes.

Have you received any updates on your hearing date since being moved to the regular process? Hopefully, you’ll get an update soon.
