Refugee Appeal Dismissed

[peaceseeker]

Dear members,
My friend had his first hearing in 2016 and got rejected, he appealed then the appeal was allowed for second hearing, board member rejected his claim again in 2018. Then he appealed again. Then CBSA sent him removal order but can't remove him because he has a pending appeal. It has been almost 20 months since he filed his second appeal. he has been in Canada for about 4 years. He is a working professional and has a decent income. Is there any other options to secure his legal status in Canada? Thank you in advance for any tips and advises.

In order to qualify for economic immigration programs he must be outside Canada. Once he leaves he can apply.

He should keep in mind that his Canadian work experience won’t count because if his rejected applications.

I don't understand why the appeal decision took so long, almost two years. Is there any thing he can do??? like talking to local MP, I advised him just to be quiet and work as he has a pending removal order. At least the delay could give him some time to stay in Canada.
