I arrived in 2016, and presented my asylum claim in January 2018. CBSA reported me for an admissibility hearing for serious criminality, and I was arrested. I was released on bail in March. It took CBSA three and a half years to put their disclosure together, and finally reveal what bothered...

Always have a good lawyer for such situations! And just because you think your lawyer is good... he may not be at all! Most lawyers aren't very good.

Yes, this must be the reason. Well, this might be difficult to overcome. You will need something to prove you are who you say you are.

Why don't you ask your lawyer to scan the letter and send it over in email?

I submitted my initial application in Mississauga in January 2018. My eligibility hearing was three weeks later.

Of course we can't tell why exactly this is happening, as we aren't familiar with your case or your circumstances. A minister's intervention means that the government has concerns about the validity or admissibility of your asylum claim and will argue that you should be rejected. This can happen...

Why would you need a restricted work permit instead of an open one? You're downgrading your possibilities while not getting any advantage.

Yes, I did try to ask for a copy. I've been told that the copy they gave me when they seized it is good enough, it's a certified copy, so I can use it for identification. They didn't give me a new one. Actually I'm pretty sure they lost my passport.

As a matter of fact you can go back... as long as IRB never finds it out. It's up to you to take the risk. They will automatically revoke your protected status if they receive information that you went back.

Anyone waiting for an admissibility hearing? My claim has been suspended for 3 years now, and no word about the hearing.

It's an exact date. You're going to receive something like a court subpoena. It is possible to call them and request another date, but within sensible limits, of course.

My two cents about that "get a lawyer" thing: be careful who you choose, most are plain scammers. If your case is not an open-and-shut one, they're often just pumping your wallet and don't offer any help. My advice is to avoid those who sit in fancy downtown offices, have shiny name tags and...

Hmm, good to know the hearings are resumed. Maybe our endless waiting has an end after all. I arrived in the last days of 2016, but only applied in January 2018 so that's when the clock starts for me. I'm actually waiting for an admissibility procedure for suspected criminal inadmissibility...

January 2021. Still no sign of that disclosure.

I'm in a similar situation. An admissibility procedure was started back in January 2018. Ever since then I've been waiting for their disclosure.

Hey, I don't want to rain on your parade, but I've been waiting for an admissibility hearing for 3 years now. So far they haven't even disclosed their concerns. I don't think it's due to COVID, it wasn't around for all this time.

Hi, I'm in the same shoes, but I'm a couple of years ahead of you. I came to Canada with serious convictions and pending prosecution in my home country and applied for asylum. The reason was exactly these convictions because I was denied a fair trial. But as a Turkish citizen you don't need...

Yeah but... they already have that disclosure. They don't have to work on it, just re-mail it to the correct address. How does that take years?

Haha, no, the first post is from 2018. I didn't add the year to the story back then. I filed in January 2018, released from detention in March 2018, and waiting ever since.

Likely not. It's been going on since March 2018.
