Any March 2024 applicants waiting to hear back on the initial updates ? Applied March first week. 3 weeks since medicals were done. 1 week since the report was sent per the receptionist at the clinic. I don't yet see a medical update or any correspondence yet. Given the huge backlog per news reports, i thought people could share their experience if in they are in a similar dilemma.

Hi everyone. Just curious, has the refugee process changed a little bit ? Noticing on the forum about people being interviewed separately by CBSA officers and ministers delegates separately.. like threads here:

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/refugee-claim’s-minister’s-delegate-interview-second-interview-cbsa.843032/
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/urgent-immigration-officer-interview-minister’s-delegate-interview.822066/#post-10603789

This is after the people were given work permits. Has the process changed ? I thought it was all at the irb hearing. Thanks.

Nothing has changed, at port of entry CBSA will conduct interview, and if there is anything of interest to be sent to the Minister, officer can do so.

Hello, I filed my refugee claim last year, February 2023. I haven’t yet received a hearing date. Has anyone else applied around the same time and if yes have you been given a hearing date yet?

Thank you!
