guys would you help me?i dont know the meaning of DM and landing interview.i claimed my file 3th oct,and they told me my hearing will be in next12-24monthes,does it really like this?
They will schedule a hearing date with you in 12-24 months. In that hearing, the IRB will decide if you meet the definition of a refugee (hear your story and ask you questions about it). If you do, they will accept you as avrefugee and issue you a Notice of Decision, then you’ll be able to apply for permanent residence.

If God forbid they don’t accept you, they will start the process of removing you from Canada unless you appeal.

Hi Everyone,

A generic query to whomever has gone thru the landing process by scheduling an interview with Visa officer.

Can we schedule an interview, even before we have the passport in hand (with the temporary COPR visa) ?

My case is- I am inside Canada and wanna complete the landing process (inside Canada) ASAP, so that i can book tickets for my spouse (dependent in my application) allowing her travel to Canada and complete her landing process.
Appreciate your inputs. Thank you

PS: i am aware that primary applicant should complete their PR landing process before/ along with the dependents, otherwise dependents will not be able to go thru the landing process.

Your lawyer will defend you in the hearing by representing proofs that you cannot go back to your country(ex: police or hospital reports, newspaper articles). These proofs you need to provide them ofc. She/he will list all the reasons that might help you get a positive hearing.

Lawyers don’t usually have much time to sit with you and prepare you for your hearing, but there are organizations that know a lot about the refugee system where they can sit with you one-on-one and explain to you anything you want to know about the hearing.
