Hi ,

I applied for RTD in may and since then have called IRCC 8 times. first 6 months they lost my application , then tried to follow up and couldn't go though their call system, I filled out webform and someone replied back " in processing". How disorganized and unresponsive are they. Tired of this failing system. How long would it takes? another year? How long that took you get yours?

I wish they could process as walking in through service Canada, there are lots of delays that are not justifiable...so expect to take further longer

Currently this system is a failure. I have to go to usa and waiting 10 months , after receiving, should wait another year for Visa.

Yeah their system is broken; what I can't understand is why they moved to IRCC when IRCC has massive backlog. well I do think because they don't really care about us "Refugees".
Is yours an Urgent case btw?
I mean have you applied as Urgent case or how is it?

No not urgent but 10 months is long for a regular one also.
