Just warning you that processing has become incredibly long and you only very recently applied. Hopefully there will be reforms of the asylum system but many will be waiting over 2 years for a hearing at this point.

I hope there are reforms and the processing gets better. Just don't want them to reject claim based on number of applicants and not to go through the claim in detail.

I don't mind waiting as long as I have work permit and continue on the job. As nothing can be done from my side.

Impossible to say what the reforms will be. If you have genuine grounds and proof and have not been living in Canada before applying for asylum you shouldn’t be affected by any reforms. The fact that you are already asking about H&C and the ability to work on H&C when you only claimed asylum recently certainly raises concerns about your claim.

The reason for asking about H&C was only for the knowledge.

Do you think a person who is living in Canada claims for refugee due to sudden change in condition in his/her country and it causes the fear of persecution or torture, then it will be difficult to get positive decision?

Based on statements made by Marc Miller yes. Obviously there are some exceptions. For example if you are Sudanese and a civil war started since you left then you’d have strong grounds for asylum. If you filed for asylum after you have exhausted other permit or PR options then most will likely have a tough time getting asylum and may be processed quickly. Can predict what will happen but based on comments there are clear concerns about people claiming asylum to extend their time in Canada.

Understood. Actually the reason to file for asylum is kind of correlates with political situation change in my home country as well as personal risk of fear to go back given the threats I am getting. Hope they consider the genuine cases for asylum when some people might be misusing the system like you said.

It was a pretty short interview, just signed the paperwork and got the work permit for 2 years along with other documents. Now waiting to hear from IRB

The initial interview is essentially a formality for most and comes relatively quickly. For most there is no movement on their file for a long time after that.

Всем привет. Мы только что начали наш путь к получению результата в удаленном режиме (Лондон, Онтарио). Ниже представлен наш тайлапс:
20/01 – Иск подан на территории страны
22/01- Медицинское заключение (запрос)
27/01- Приглашение на собеседование (приглашение к подаче документов в IRCC)
02.07- ПОДТВЕРЖДЕНИЕ НАПРАВЛЕНИЯ (было направлено в Отдел по защите строительства (РПД)
02.08 - Медицинский осмотр (результаты готовы)
Подали документы, 4 фото, биометрию. Выдали РВП (до 2031 г.) и ВНЖ (до 2027 г.)
Хотели отдать им доказательства, но они их не забрали. Вопрос: куда отправить доказательства? Как укрепить эту стопку листов? Листы были пронумерованы. Нужно ли их скреплять? Подскажите, пожалуйста, знающие люди.

The evidences, decision will be taken by IRB. You had interview and the document was given by IRCC.

I had interview with IRCC today. So I am on the same path. Will wait till IRB inform you and ask to submit evidence.

Parliament is prorogued. Those measures Miller spoke of in Nov are not going to the see the light of day anytime soon. Unless bureaucrats find tricks to circumvent it.
