Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2025 Timelines

[Anonymousmoose]

I don’t know what situation your family is in or what country you’re from, but a piece of advice I’d give is unless you are certain that your dads life will be in imminent danger if he were to leave Canada, I would not apply for asylum.

The PRRA stream has no hearing and an acceptance rate of less than 5%.

That said, it is 5% due to many false or fraudulent asylum cases, so as I said, if your dad has a really strong case on his side he might win, but if he doesn’t then he has no other option and will be deported and barred from entering Canada for a few years. I would really really suggest contacting a lawyer and not relying on anybody’s advice from here, including mine, as none of us are lawyers.

Just a quick side note too:

You can ask people here for advice, but don’t take it to heart and don’t take it as a final word, too many people love to roleplay as immigration officers and/or lawyers on here, and believe that what they are saying is the truth and the only truth.

PRRAs are really difficult, but that 5% mostly comes from second-mechanism PRRA applications. Due to C-12 there will be a lot more first-mechanism PRRA applications, so we will slowly start to see actual data regarding first-mechanism PRRA applications.

Any news from anyone?
Especially with Front-End Security Screening confirmation timelines?

Here is my timeline:
Mid April In-Land Application
May 8th: Biometrics, Passport Seized, RPID, Work Permit, Referred to RPD
May 20th: File-Review Processing Request Submitted
May 22nd: Second Work Permit Approved (I honestly don't know why)
October 6th: I called in to check in about the FRP request.
October 9th: Letter from RPD replying to the FRP request saying that my claim was "Streamed for completion under the Instructions Governing the Streaming of Less Complex Claims but was awaiting FESS for scheduling."
March 6th 2026: Background check completed in the IRCC portal.
Apparently IRB still hasn't received the background check confirmation (Front-End Security Screening Confirmation)

The security-screening instructions say that when confirmation hasn't been received by six months from referral, the RPD will normally proceed to schedule/hear the claim unless CBSA obtains a delay. The current Less Complex Claims Instructions expressly provide for both file review and short hearings. If am not wrong.

Thats long
also since you seem informed, I had a question. We submitted our claim on December 2024. My father was not able to come back then. Now there is a chance of him coming. He came to Canada once in 2023, will he need to file another claim or just merge into ours. Also will C-12 affect him?

Your father’s TRV may also have been cancelled given the family’s asylum claims. Canada had a very open door policy when it came to immigration for multiple years so the volume of asylum claims skyrocketed. What allowed many to claims asylum also has created huge backlogs so processing times have become extremely long.
