Greetings guys,

Hope everybody is doing great.

This time I'm reaching out you for some information, I'm currently a Refugee Claimant and my Document has been expired (it was given to me for 2 years)

When I applied for Work Permit I got it for a year, it expired and I renewed it after and they renewed for 1 more year but this time, my 2nd Work Permit is about to expire again and thinking about doing the renewable again I realized that my Refugee Claimant Document has been expired, does it affect in the process? and I was wondering if I do also have to do the Medical Tests again after a year? Or can use the same one that I did last year?

I really appreciate your help or any information of somebody with the same case.

Thanks a lot guys!!!

You can renew WP without a problem. Refugee Claimant Document is not renewable.

I've heard of some people claiming that they've renewed their RPCD. I don't know if they're true though. IRCC also extended the validity from 2 years to 4 years for the RPCD. Check this link:

That's correct. I haven't had my hearing date yet. So be patient if you still waiting as well.

Thank you so much for the information,

Today I applied for the Renew of my Work Permit and I submitted my Expired Refugee Claimant Document with another IRB Letter explaining that my hearing or decision hasnt been made yet.

Lets hope it works without any problem I would be updating the information for future Refugee Claimants looking for the same kind of information.

I applied in Ontario as a Refugee Claimant,

If you are planning to apply in Saskatchewan you would be schedule for Hearing sooner than mine. Because there are less asylum seekers in the Western Region for what I believe and I had read.

Of course, you will need to filled and submit your BOC first. After that, go to the Canada Place and tell them that you are there because you are seeking for Refugee Protection, you will have a first interview and then they would evaluate your case if it is considerable the Prosecutor would schedule you a Hearing Date. Keep on mind that you will be waiting from 1 year to 2 years for your hearing, if you are lucky with this backlog.

Good luck!

Asylum is a federal program that is now FIFO. There is no faster processing if you are from a Western province. Yes you can move but if you get legal aid you must be living in the province where you receive legal aid.

Hello, do the application as you were going to do it from the beginning. The same process is just instead of selecting on the options “Work Permit - for the first time” you will select “Renew work permit same employer” . Once you finish and submit your application online you will have this new Application status shown in your account.

It took about a month to get my new work permit processes last year in November, 2018 .
