Dear senior members, Could you please share your knowledge or experience with family hearings? Who will be questioned by the judge - all the family members, or just the main applicant? Thank you & have a good day!

Hi CanadianDream, I'm doing well, my dear, and I'm sure you are as well. I'm sorry I forgot to tag you. I had updated about my eligibility interview on January 2 when I answered Optimistic Soul's question and I thought you would read it. I got my work permit on the spot. The officer did not ask...

Biometrics for a visa application and biometrics for a refugee claim are two different things, my friend. Just be patient; maybe you'll get called in this month or next month for the interview. But that's not an interview; it's for biometrics and passport seizure. And then, you'll have to wait...

Take it easy and relax, my friend. As long as your claim does not have credibility issues, you're going to be fine, and there's nothing to be worried about. ;) I believe they will give you the work permit on the spot. :cool: Have a good day!

Wow, that's fantastic news! I'm happy for you. Yes, I'm sure you'll get your work permit on the spot. I hope good luck may be with all of us along the way in our journey in Canada.

Hi @Mancini, Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. It's good to know that there's no need to re-submit the BOC. :D I appreciate the advice about keeping busy while waiting. Okay then, so I don't need to re-submit my passport too. ;) Thanks again & have a good night.

Hi @optimistic soul, Yes, I've had my interview today. Everything went well, but actually, it was not an interview. The officer didn't ask any questions; instead, he explained some documents that I need to sign. I got my work permit on the spot. Hi @Mancini, If you don't mind, could you please...

Happy New Year to all of you, and I wish you all receive good news in this new year.

Hi @yvreats, This is my timeline : -BOC submitted on June 15, 2023. -Biometrics and passport seizure on July 13, 2023. -Medical examination on September 11, 2023. -The medical passed on October 11, 2023. -Eligibility interview is scheduled on January 2nd, 2024. I received an email from the...

Hi @Ad3y, Thanks a lot for breaking down the possible timeline. I really appreciate your help and explaining all the steps. It gives me a much better idea of what might happen. I'll definitely make sure to keep renewing my work permit and follow your advice to stay in status. Your insights are...

Hi @Mancini, Okay, got it. Thank you for your response & good night. :)

Dear friends, I submitted my passport-size photo when I was called for biometrics. Should I bring photos again for the eligibility interview? Please share your experiences. Thank you.

Woow! congratulations on becoming PR two years ago! I appreciate your prayers. I hope that soon, indeed, I and others still waiting will have our own testimonies. Thank you for still being in this forum and sharing your positive experience, even though you have already successfully completed...

To the best of my knowledge, we cannot apply for PRRA unless the CBSA officer offers it to us. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you so much for your prayers and encouraging words. I truly appreciate your guidance. Your suggestion regarding the renewal of a work permit with the mentioned documents and the inclusion of the AOR for the H&C application is incredibly helpful. I will definitely keep this in mind as I...

Oh, I see... but savings will not last long if the waiting times are too long. I think the answer is working under the table. And then it leads to my next question: How can I avoid deportation if I'm out of status? :p

@scylla & @SweetQueen, thanks for your responses. I am a refugee claimant, and I will have my eligibility interview on January 2nd. I hope to receive a positive decision, but I need to prepare for the worst if I exhaust all options and need to apply for H&C. If I apply for H&C as a failed...

Hi Emix, I'm happy for you. Enjoy your journey my friend. Wishing you all the best. :)

Hi @SweetQueen, Thank you for your response. Let me rephrase it to ensure clarity, and please correct me if I'm wrong. Are you suggesting that if I apply for H&C based on the best interest of a child, I can also apply for a work permit?

Hi @scylla, Thank you for your response. I just wondered how some members could support themselves while waiting for 1st stage approval, which takes months or even years, if they couldn't obtain a work permit.
