I think you are right so that means if a protected person had a sin number before his acceptance, that sin number will be extended after his acceptance until he has a PR card. So Donbosco can continue using his sin. I just was accepted recently and was heard from friends that an accepted refugee get a permanent sin but as you said it is a temporary one so it means just the extension of the current sin number.
Correct. They will extend the expiry date until you recieve your PR. Once you have that you can apply for a permenent SIN.
Although you may not feel that your file was expedited your processing time was much faster than most applicants. We have seen many applicants from other priority countries like Syria be processed closer to 1.5 years.That is great to hear you are expedited. But my personal experience with the expedited process was not good. I was expedited one month after application. They asked for more documents and I sent them in 15 days. Then I had a false hope that I will get the answer soon but for 8 months there was no news at all. 8 months! and I was checking the mailbox every day with hope to see the IRB letter. Finally, I called them several times and they said the caseworkers' group was changed and they canceled many expedited cases including me. The sad part is they will not inform us if we are still expedited or not.
Then I had a hearing scheduled and canceled and scheduled again and canceled and finally, I had my hearing.
I am not sure what is going on in IRB We have to wait and be patient and also we have to be ready for unexpected events too.
It is so difficult to live with false hope and then be disappointed.
Yeah, I am happy although they removed me from expedited process my overall process toke 11 months. My friend who applied at the same time was accepted after 7 months. I never heard that Afghans cases take more than a year. At least until now!
I know that feeling, I also check my mailbox everyday and I hope that I’ll hear from IRB soon with good news.That is great to hear you are expedited.

Thank you! I hope you’ll soon hear from IRB with good news.
Congratulations.
Congratulation!!! Finally waiting time is over for hearing...!!!
They do seem to be prioritizing applicants who crossed the border by foot which you likely did. I assume it is due to the pressure from Canadian citizens and to weed out anyone who does not warrant asylum.
