We aplied in January 2017 and we received a letter in March 2018 advising that our hearing was to be held in May 9th 2018 but just a week ago we were told that it had been posponed.No new date!

Does it mean that expedited cases are investigating FIFO inside their group or they are processing FIFO among the total cases and as one of them?
Seems like every application is being processed under FIFO. If you are an expedited case when it is your turn they may give you protected status without an interview. That's how the press release reads. Can't say what actually happens but you can read the press release yourself.

Today I asked my lawyer.
I asked him: ( there was a news in IRB website last week: http://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/Eng/NewsNouv/info/Pages/expedited-processing-refugee-claims.aspx
They said:" The RPD is currently scheduling cases from its inventory primarily in the order in which they were received, including those under the expedited process. Being granted refugee protection without a hearing does not necessarily mean that your claim is finalized sooner.".
How long do you estimate would be my waiting time considering I applied in October 2017?)

This is his answer: (Your case is being processed by the expedited unit, so it is entirely different and I would expect that it will be dealt with sooner than later. I cannot be precise.)

Thanks

The press release says otherwise. Nothing you can do but wit and see. Wouldn't count on a fast processing and then be disappointed. The lawyers aren't privy to everything going on.
