Hello, has anyone from November 2018 received a hearing yet? I know some that applied in December, and received decision letters. I'm from an expedited country, but it doesn't seem to be expedited. Haven't received any letter acknowledging i'm from an expedited country, which worries me.
Does anyone have an idea of how hearings are scheduled? For example there's around 70,000 cases, does that mean one has to wait his/her turn until one by one cases are cleared on a 'queue' basis? Because this doesn't seem to be the case, I feel the IRB's scheduling system is very messy, and hearings are scheduled not according to a protocol, and it's rather random. Sometimes people arriving after other individuals are processed and scheduled sooner, there's no issue with their files either. Background/medical are complete and the file just sits there.
