5 years waiting in the US and 8 months here for a freaking asylum hearing.. I'm seriously collapsing and feel like ending this entire suffering im in.
Are you suffering more than you were while living in Syria? I should think not... It is a long process for refugees but everyone who has opted to go that route to acquire PR in Canada should know that it isn't a walk in the park. You are already here, are able to work and live comfortably. Free from persecution as Canada promised you. What they didn't promise is that you would get PR status in the blink of an eye so yes the wait is long but they expect you to wait.
As Canuck rightly explained earlier, there has been a super surge of Asylum seekers that have burdened the refugee claims system. Although IRB officers are designated for refugee claims, Canada has also had a super surge of International Students coming in, Students who have just finished school and applying for Post Grad Work Permits, Students who have now qualified for and are applying for PR through Express Entry, FSW workers applying to come to Canada as PRs and this fall there will be a Super Surge of Citizenship Applicants with the new laws taking effect.
(All these categories have to pay huge sums of money to come to Canada by the way)
I'm saying this to say that IRCC will have to and have been utilizing Immigration officers across the board to effectively process the millions of people applying for their respective programs.
An example: CEC class PR applicants were being processed in 1-3 months from the point of application submission to receiving PR from January- April 2017. This stopped because there was an influx of Student Visa applications for the September 2017 intake that needed to be processed. School has started and apps have significantly slowed and now CEC applicants are once again being processed quickly and most receive PR in 1-3 and sometimes 4 months. It is clear that the officers were used in another department as the need arose.
Go out and enjoy living and working in a clean and safe country in the meantime. Try as best to get lots of professional volunteer experience to help you in obtaining more professional jobs in the future. Life is short and if your process takes 10 years GOD FORBID, please do not sit and stress and worry for that long. Canada is beautiful.
