Why did you conduct two hearings?

Dear Seniors and all members,

Today i had my 2nd hearing (virtual hearing) member was very kind and polite it lasted only 45 min including introduction and closing, apart of 2 question from Narrative member mainly focused on IFA which i replied in detail and then my lawyer submitted his remarks to cover everything regarding IFA she said she will send me answer soon.

How do you see this, is it positive?

Good that you were able to defend IFA, incl your lawyer's submission. It looks positive indication, in my opinion, but its up to member to give final decision..

Time until you get NOD is extremely variable and partially depends on what member you had. Some of them are very quick with their decisions and are up to date with their paperwork while some take months. 2 weeks would be the earliest you will hear but don't panic if you don't hear in 2 weeks.

Thank you for the expalnation

Don't worry. I was in your situation and I got the positive decision on hearing without any break. There was only two questions about my case and I answered. The hearing lasted about 45 minutes only. I was worried because my case was selected for file review but it changed to virtual hearing. It was easier than I expected. Where are you from bro?

I had the same case, how long did it take for your notice of decision to arrive in the mail

Any new hearing these days, or anyone got the NOD?

Hello everyone,
Today I received my positive decision electronically through my counsel.
My hearing was scheduled for March 13 and the member made her decision on March 18 and they sent the electronic version of the NOD to my counsel through MyCase Portal and mailed it to me and my counsel. I have not received the mail yet but I am going to apply for my health card and PR ASAP with this electronic version.
I hope everyone gets their positive decision soon.
Here the timeline for my case:
1. Made the claim in June 2019.
2. Got a "less complex" letter a few months later.
3. Then nothing until December 2019 when I called IRB and they said they have decided to have a short hearing.
4. Then Covid hit in March and nothing for almost 9 months later
5. 3 months ago I received a Notice to Appear letter.
6. March 13 was the hearing and the member did not make a decision. The fact that she did not make a decision at the hearing was extremely stressful.
7. I called IRB multiple times and first week after hearing they had no updates. Second week they said that they had a decision but sent it to a third party company for transcription. Third week I called they said to wait.
8. Finally I received the electronic NOD today April 6. So totally it took almost 3 weeks.

From the day I made a claim until today it took almost 1 year and 8 months.

Congratulations

How did you get the electronic NOD? Email?

I guess he received via email from the counsel, and the counsel received through myCase Portal from IRB. Original will be mailed to his address.

Are they sending it via email these days?
One of the lawyer says that it comes only by mail and they don't use email option.

My brother received his NOD on Friday. It was mailed to him with other application form to apply for his CSQ (only for those in QC). His hearing was on March 23rd.

Through a portal that my counsel has. It is called MyCase Portal. They send the NOD through MyCase Portal then mail the original one a few days after that.

Guys is there a deadline to apply for PR after getting a positive decision? I am short on money and the PR app is expensive. I am not able to apply for PR at least for the next couple of months.
