Postponed hearings timelines
- Thread starter SAMER MAHER
- Start date
You have already heard from them so I would imagine a few months maximum is more likely then a year. If they conclude you need an interview it will be longer.Oh, I see.
Maybe I am one of them! It is still 3 months and maybe became 1 year soon
Thank you

I am also from Afghanistan and am in exactly the same situation as you are. Had hearing scheduled in December but was postponed indefinitely. My lawyer told me the same thing. Did you arrive from USA crossing the border and do your have close relatives in Canada (brother, sisters, parents etc.). I have heard if you arrive illegally and have no relatives in Canada, it could take longer.
Hi dear,
No they did not send me anything and for your info, they start FIFO strategy so finally, some justice if they are serious about what they said on their website.
Greetings guys,
I'm glad that I found some similar cases as mine on the internet. I found myself very anxious and I had to look for some information. I even found people writing from my same country of origin.
To tell you a little bit about myself and my story.
I came to Canada with a Visitor Visa and I applied for Refugee Protection it was on September 2016 my hearing date was supposed to be held on November 2016 and unfortunately, they postponed due to some documents that IRB hadn't have received yet. Since then, it has been more than one year and six months and I am still waiting for my hearing to have a decision.
Honestly, it has been very difficult and desperate living in the uncertainty, but just letting you know that you are not alone with this guys and we have to be patient! There is no other way. Just work hard meanwhile, God's timing is perfect!
For those who live in the Province of Alberta and are not authorized to get a Driver License (which is very important to find a job) as a Refugee Claimant in the Province of Ontario, you are authorized to get a Driver License being a Claimant.
Thanks, any information, please, share.

Hi Samir,
Did you hear anything back? also are you based in Ontario?
Did you have a lawyer that represented you?
Sorry to ask so much questions, but I am new with the same background and just got my hearing postponed to an unidentified date.
Best,
Kareem
