    1. In the application they ask for your date of entry to Canada- so this question would be based on the timeline since you declared entering Canada. I dont think it is related to when you applied for refugee status or that is not how I understand it 2. I had a guarantor, the firs one was my...

    Refugee Travel Document - Questions and Answers

    From my experience, yes the 'secondary screening'/going to the separate room at the airport will happen every time- but the questions they ask you will depend on the officer and it may not be the same questions every time.

    I dont think the eligibility letter is a good measure of when you will get your PR. The processing time starts when you received the AOR for your PR application.
