This isn't correct.

Is the risk you face in Sudan because of your race, religion, nationality, political belief or membership in a particular social group (e.g. being LGBT+, being female, etc)? If not, do you face any additional risks beyond what an ordinary civilian in Sudan face? Refugee protection (asylum)...

Do you have the middle name listed on your Certificate of Permanent Residence or Record of Landing? If not, you'll need to undergo a provincial legal change of name.

Just the certificate.

There's your answer.

"Asylum shopping" is not a legal concept. If, as you've said, you fall under the exceptions to the STCA, you won't be barred from making a claim under the STCA (in accordance with section 101(1)(e) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act). However, since you've made a claim for refugee...

I know this doesn't directly answer your question but the IRB will not contact authorities or other entities in your country of persecution. It is aware that your country of persecution becoming privy to your refugee claim can put you, your friends and/or your family in danger.

You're not subject to the reavailment provisions since you're a citizen now. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

You will need to justify why you didn't initiate any proceedings against the organization in the basis of claim form and your hearing. You have mentioned in your original post that you feared for the safety of your family and therefore did not want to engage the organization so this is something...

If you're in Winnipeg (as your username suggests) your regional office is IRB Vancouver, not IRB Montreal. You can apply for refugee protection online. Claims handled by IRB Vancouver usually take anywhere from 3 to 9 months. The other two offices (Toronto and Montreal) tend to take longer...

The title suggests the OP is naturalized and therefore a Canadian citizen. If that is correct, they're not subject to cessation in case of reavailment and the only way their citizenship can be revoked is if it was obtained through misrepresentation.

I was told I could use my UCI anywhere they needed my file number so that's something you could try. Eventually I got sent a letter by the IRB which had my file number on it.
