Basic of claim submitted through my lawyer 13 August 2024

Since then I have not hear anything from them, when should i be waiting for my hearing?

Dude u just started
At best u will take 8-9 months from the day u submitted ur case
Other than that 1 year to 1 and half depending on ur claim and country of origin
Don’t get disappointed for waiting it’s worth it .
Good luck

Yea, create a whatsapp group for better communication

Not me

 

[Ivantika]

why you guys are so quite? did anyone got their hearing date yet?

No date yet. It’s almost 9 months since I’ve filed. I guess we will have to continue being patient.

After the recent statements by IRCC I believe hearings will postponed even further. It will be at least 1.5 years for everyone. So if you filled claim in the beginning of 2024, at least wait until 2025 summer.

1.5 years is even ambitious given the backlog. There is supposed to be an announcement about reforms to asylum system because there is around 250k claims when IRB can only process around 50k/year.

Yeah the current changes are unsettling, it's making the wait filled with more anxiety

I don't know what to take of these changes

Let's hope for the best

Do we have a WhatsApp group yet?

All the best guys

Now road to PR

That was so nice of you. All the best, and good luck on your road to PR! I have an important concern: Could you please advise me on photos (the letter says 4 passport-size photos)? Am I required to carry 4 passport-size photos or it is not necessary? Also, I do not have my passport with me - CBSA seized it! Please advise, what ID shall I carry? Thank you very much.

Okay all the best

 

[LBNpl]

Thank you very much. Is there anything I need to prepare for, or is there anything specific I should carry with me? FYI, I do not have my passport with me - CBSA seized it.

CBSA seized mine too but they gave a copy of my passport with the seizure letter on it so if you also have that, I recommend you bring that with 4pcs of passport size photo and the notice to return of interview paper itself
