Withdrawal for refugee claimants

[Shadow_123]

Hello,

Due to country condition changes and became safer for return, I want to withdraw my refugee case end of this month. Anyoen has any idea about processing time of withdrawal from CBSA and will I be able to work until I depart from Canada?

Also, is there any transit requirements for people travelling to South Asia which needs to be in mind before purchasing ticket?

An acknowledgement within about a month is totally realistic and actually pretty common, as far as I know from a friend of mine who left the country in a similar situation.
Before purchasing the ticket, it’s important to consider key factors such as your passport nationality, which airports you’ll transit through, and whether you will remain in the international transit zone.

Do they handover the passport to the person or to the airline directly?

I will then contact CBSA before purchasing ticket?

Also is there any way to expedite acknowledgement and go back home earlier ?

You may request the return of your passport, either directly to you or for release at the airport on the day of departure. Therefore, it is advisable not to book travel until you have received your passport or confirmation from CBSA.

Understood. Thank you for the information

Hi, I am planning to withdraw my case this week. May I know if my work permit will still be valid until I leave the country or it gets invalid as soon as I apply for withdrawal?

Is it possible to call CBSA and expedite the departure order process? I am planning to leave in 2 weeks.

Anyone has contact information for CBSA Vancouver office?

If your claim is the only reason you were allowed to stay/work, and you withdraw it, your legal status usually ends either immediately or shortly after the withdrawal is processed.

CBSA cannot guarantee they will expedite processing, but contacting them early and giving them your departure plan and ticket details often helps avoid delays and ensures your departure is recorded properly.

You can call CBSA at
Border Information Line (general enquiries) 1-800-461-9999
People subject to a removal order
1-833-995-0002

How do I contact them? Over phone? Any specific contact information because there are many in the website.

I already have a plan and ticket details but need to confirm with CBSA about travel restrictions as well as confirmed date of returning passport so that I can buy the ticket with my passport.

The reason I ask about paperwork invalid or not is I am expecting a couple of paychecks over next 2 weeks. So my question is, will I be still getting it as long as my department order is not enforced?

Immigration status does not cancel wages already earned. But you should not continue working after the withdrawal becomes effective.

 

[Shadow_123]

Okay. But does the withdrawal becomes effective e immediately after I submit the withdrawal or take time to process?

Withdrawal is not usually effective the second you submit it, but it becomes effective once it is officially accepted/processed by the authority handling your case.

Question: if the Refugee claim withdrawal is process, will the SIN number immediately becomes expired? If I have any pending paychecks, will I be getting in my bank account?

If withdrawing your claim means you no longer have legal status or a valid work permit, then your SIN becomes invalid once your status expires.
If someone continues to use your documents including work permit or SIN., that can cause serious immigration consequences.
