This is pretty normal. The hearing in 60 days was a formality and has to be scheduled by law. Your lawyer should have advised you that it would 100% get cancelled due to the large volume of applicants and you will get a hearing between 1-2 years.
Postponed hearings timelines
- Thread starter SAMER MAHER
- Start date
I applied 2 weeks after you and last week of Sep 2018(In 10 days from now) is going to be my real hearing.
I am so nervous but also happy.
It is pretty obvious anyone can get nervous for the day we have been waiting from months.
I have ready so many experiences of people who attended their hearings, some have good experiences and others experienced bad day.
Go to the link below to get some experiences about refugee claimant's big day!!!

I get the refugee claimant document on April 2017 in Toronto , from Yemen , with 3 minor kids separated from their dad for almost 2 years and stil don’t have a day for hearing .very stressful situation.
Samer you unfortunately seem to have been quite unlucky. There are of course other people in your situation but you are over 2 years at this point right? Think we will be seeing more long wait times like yours. I also think appeals and H&C wait times are going to skyrocket because some people walking across the border were unaware of the asylum requirements.
Hi Samer,
I know people who talked with the MP of their area and they could help them to make their cases faster.
Maybe you should try to talk with your area MP.

Samer have a look at this link https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/statistics/protection/Pages/RPDStat2018.aspx
I think you can calculate you waiting time.I do not know your country but for example, I calculated for Af as I know about Afghan people.
250 were finalized in 6 months and 500 are pending that means for an Afghan in average it takes 1 year to be processed and in real life also they are waiting between 6 months to 10 months.
Do it for your country!
I did in January and August 2018, the answers were: it's First In First Out and I must just wait.
Sadly enough I can't tell them it's a nice joke.
Dear Jalal, if we calculated your way, ppl of Angola should wait around 12 years as IRB has only processed 22 and they have 486 pending.
Anyway, Im from Iraq and our numbers are similar.
No rules at all when it comes to hearing dates and it's all about how lucky you are.
To be fair think you were a victim of the system being overwhelmed and then there were changes to the processing system because of the increase in numbers. When you double the amount of people that are supposed to be processed yearly and hundreds of people are showing up on your border in the woods daily with no plan except to get to Canada there are bound to be problems.
I'm not sure how you calculate it
my home country is nigeria could you help calculate it for me
