Hello, So i had my hearing on monday october 07 2024. It lasted for about 1.5hr with a 10mins break tho there were some little discrepancies like spelling on a document which i said was a typo and also on my affidavit i did not embellish my claim in anyway. at the end member asked my lawyer if he had anything to add which he did and then member said he will send a decision he said he’s decisions are usually fast and take couple of days. But its been a week and no update still. I reached out to my counsel and he said no news yet. I checked my irrc portal and its strange the referral decision doesn’t list any of the statuses it just says “Not Available” i called immigration and after asking ke series of security questions the lady told me no decision was made and they are still on paperwork i am so anxious and confused can someone please advise? I need help please thanks.

My interview is scheduled this Friday the 18th of October 2024 at Etobicoke.... I have already received an email in respect to my work permit application stating it has been approved and has been mailed to me...
I don't understand, does this means I won't be able to get my work permit on the day of my interview.

May I ask , You had submitted BOC in August 2023 or August 2024 ? Is it a less complex case or normal ?

Hello. My case was regarded as less complex back in February 2024. In August I received a notice to appear for hearing scheduled in November 2024. During this time, I never received a letter stating that my case is no longer being considered as less complex nor the hearing notice specifies the type of hearing (regular/short). While I understand that it is not uncommon to have a hearing scheduled even if the case is regarded as less complex, I am wondering that if they have not EXPLICITLY stated that my case is no longer considered a less complex the hearing is likely to be the short one?
Wondering if anyone have/had a similar situation and how did it actually play out? Thank you

A “less complex case” in a letter from the Refugee Board of Canada indicates that your refugee claim is considered straightforward and may not require a full hearing. The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) uses two processes for these types of claims:

  1. Short-Hearing Process: This involves a brief hearing because the case does not present complex legal or factual issues.
  2. File-Review Process: In some cases, the IRB can decide on the claim based on the documents submitted, without needing a hearing12.
This approach helps the IRB allocate resources efficiently and resolve cases more quickly. If your case is deemed less complex, it generally means that the evidence and circumstances are clear enough to make a decision without extensive proceedings1.
