Can you understand it now?
so your time starts when they start processing. Pilot program has processing time of 1 year according to cic website so everything should be done in 1 year but if there are issues it will take longer. No body knows what is going on in officer heads they might want to check more. So it all depends

Asking for a friend. He landed here in Canada year ago but did not claim refugee protection. Now his status expired can he still claim a refugee protection ? Any insight guys.

And if he apply for refugee claim, can he applied for work permit ? How long does it take to get a work permit.

Thank u for your reply.

Your friend will have many questions to answer so I don’t think it will be easy for your friend to be accepted unless he/she has a very very good reason not to apply the moment he/she entered canada.your friend should get avery good lawyer

1, what was those two additional documents that they asked you .
2, are you entered canada with a visa and then claimed refugee or you passed border illegally and claim refugee?
3, have you been in military or any government position back home?
4, which country are you from?
5, did you provide requested document in the time frame they asked for it?
