Postponed hearings timelines
- Thread starter SAMER MAHER
- Start date
Your situation is quite weird, you are citizen of one of the expedited country policy list and still with is no hearing date.
I mean if this is happening with someone who falls under their expedited policy and still waiting for his claim to be heard then what can we expect, we even not listed in their expedite list.
I think cases like yours are in the minority. There is a system but it's not perfect. Are there some cases that fall through the cracks...of course. Not sure that any system under so much stress and that changed how it processes claims halfway through the surge of applicants would be 100% perfect. Not sure why Canada is expected to be 100% fair and perfect. That is not the case in any country. Considering Canada does provide welfare, healthcare, schooling and often shelter to people waiting for asylum hearings it is much better than most places in the world.
I believe I am correct. For Afghanistan 250 new cases were applied in last 6 months and 252 were finalized and 500 are pending. If IRB works with the same speed than I think the total 500 pending people at this moment will be processed in 2 periods of 6 months (12 months). It is an easy and realistic calculation. Unless IRB decreases the speed by the time that is unlikely. Real afghans experiences confirm this calculation. For Nigeria with 11k pending and 900 processed in 6 months, it seems it takes 4 years or more unless a miracle happens that usually does not. It is Mathematics and not non-sense as you said!
Hey coolguy.
I wrote my answer in the previous reply. Nigeria looks quite an exceptional case! Why so many people suddenly arrived and applied in Canada! Did something especial happed recently? Can you please share information with us?
I was expedited 1 month after my application. As my lawyer told me the caseworker was changed from a Korean original lady to a person from a country in the middle east that I do not want to reveal it. This new caseworker made so many problems for my case and I am sure there is personal bias behind it. It is sad but all people are humans and have a bias.Your situation is quite weird, you are citizen of one of the expedited country policy list and still with is no hearing date.

I wasn't aware of this, Now I totally believe in Luck. If you are lucky then all goes well. I heard about some board members are nice and some are not. You are lucky your wait time is coming to end only 6 days left to your hearing. I wish you best of luck and share with us good news soon.
What happened was that the system changed. Expedited applications from some countries are out and it switched to first come first served. The Afghan applicants who have not been processed will all be in chronological order based on entry and will likely have longer processing times than before. There are some irregularities of course. Your application seems to have been processed faster because is was initially identified but then FIFO started.
The interview will include questions about the claimant and their family members, even family members who are not with the claimant. Here are some examples:
· What is the claimant’s date of birth, citizenship, and marital status?
· What are the dates of birth, citizenship, and marital status of the claimant’s family members?
· What identity documents do they have or can they get?
· What route did they take to come to Canada?
· Did anyone help them get here?
· What travel documents did they use?
· If they are 28 or older, where have they lived for the last 10 years?
· If they are younger than 28, where have they lived since their 18th birthday?
· Are they associated with or have they belonged to any groups or organizations?
· Do they have criminal charges or convictions in any country?
· Have they or any family member made a refugee claim before, here or anywhere else?
· What is the claimant’s history of education and employment?
· Has the claimant completed military service?
· Does the claimant have any history of involvement in war crimes, terrorism, or organized crime?
· Does the claimant have any history of serious disease or mental or physical disorder?
