I know a friend who submitted the evidence for less complex and received the positive NOD within 1 month, all the process from arriving to Canada until receiving the NOD took less than 8 months. Then he applied for PR for himself and his family and got a travel document and now he's with his...

Congratulations!

Hello Daniel. Definitely you can come and submit refugee claim at the first point of entry in Canada. You don't need an immigration lawyer or consultant. Just try to read as much as you can about the process of claiming refuge in Canada. If you have been living outside Sudan, you are...

Thank you Canuck78 for your response and clarification. Yes I on a monthly basis I keep track of the backlog, now standing at 273,000 refugee claims pending with IRB as of December 31, 2024. The crazy thing is that there are cases which are processed hassle-free within 8-10 months, while there...

Hello Brother and thank you so much for your response. I will do that. Really appreciate all your continuous help and support. God bless you man.

Hello everyone.. I hope that you are all doing well.. I submitted my refugee claim almost 18 months ago. My file was referred to IRB in October 2023. IRB advised that my case was eligible for the file review process and asked me to submit my evidence for a possible determination without a...

This is really an important and useful thread. I myself opened an account and prepared the online forms - hoping to get a positive decision one day - but could not find these forms for my dependents. I thought that the forms that I've filled includes all the information of my dependents, that...

It is quite normal. So many refugee claimants receive a letter that their claim will be considered as "Less Complex"... However after reading the documents submitted by the claimant, IRB will change the process to a regular hearing. In the "Less Complete" letter, it is clearly stated: This...

The rule is that there is is no rule :( If someone will reply to you that they applied in December 2023 and got a hearing or got accepted, so what? Are you going to feel depressed? anxious? Again.. the rule is that there is no rule.. I applied in August 2023, my file was transferred to IRB in...

Hello Dima, I read in this forum that there are members who travelled with a RTD to Germany and from there they went to Switzerland and were stopped by the Swiss authorities and fined around 600 Euros for not having a Schengen visa. You can definitely apply for a Schengen visa to any EU member...

Congratulations to you and your family.. I hope that you really appreciate what this means to you all, and that you try hard to pay back to this blessed land..

Take it easy. The decision may take at least 2-3 weeks to reach by mail, and it could take 4-5 months, yes MONTHS!! There could be various different reasons for a decision to take such a long time. It's been only 9 days since the hearing so no need to panic. Don't even think about it, just...

Hello Dima. The answer is definitely no! Nooooo! You should not use your Syrian passport. Using the passport means that you accept to go under the protection of the government that you had originally sought protection from. This will trigger a cessation application by the Minister. Read...

Good evening everyone. I have a relative. She is a refugee registered with UN. She is a university graduate (IT) with very good English skills and 2 years work experience. She has been a refugee outside her country for 11 years. Is she entitled under this program? She does not have a job offer...

Yes, unfortunately they were not successful. Maybe in 99% of the cases, dependents of a refugee claimants/ protected persons will not be approved for a visitor visa. The reason is very clear: IRCC are 100% sure that if approved, the dependents will stay in Canada and will not return and wait...
