Hello everyone

For asylum applicants from the US -Canadian boarders

I read that the processing time is 45 days as mentioned below but I heard that it is taking on average 20 month .which info is correct


Determine the hearing date
  • for claims at a port of entry, the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) hearing must take place no later than 45 days after the day on which the claim is referred;
  • for claims at an inland office, the RPD hearing must take place no later than 30 days after the day on which the claim is referred

Thanks in advance

That's correct. This was a processing time target that IRCC set some time ago. However it's not being met due to the high volumes of asylum claims through irregular border crossings and now further slowed down due to COVID-19. Expect to wait more than a year just for the hearing.

You aren’t able to apply for asylum and the US-Canadian border at the moment unless you have a family member in Canada. Things have changed due to covid and the new ruling will be appealed.
