as to how, my memory is a bit foggy when it comes to recalling where exactly i went, my lawyer advised me to go and write a letter requesting expedited process. i thought it would be filling an application, but when i got to their office in montreal, it might have been an IRCC office or maybe an IRB
when i walked in I explained my intentions to a nice french canadian gentleman, and instead of handing me a form he game a blank paper and told me to write my request. I wasn't sure what to write, I asked the man, he said just write why you want it expedited and I did just that.
The cruz of my letter was that i'm requesting expedited process as I am a young man with a life ahead of me. I told them that I had learned english in a few years and I cannot wait to learn French just as good and be a full functioning member in canadian and Quebecois society. I told them that I left the states for Canada mainly because the hold up in processing was holding me from going to university when I should have (I applied to asylum at 16 and after high school I was shocked to know that I was out of luck with education as US schools would charge me international fees for lack of official immigration status)
I wrote a compelling from heart letter and a few weeks later I got a letter from IRB saying I was selected for expedited process.
If you weren't great at english or writing or whatever, i wouldn't stress about the content of the letter, what matters is 1. being from a designated country (one of the 14 above) 2. actually sending a request letter. How poetic you write, i doubt will affect the outcome,.
Cheers now mate good luck and let me know how it goes
Edit:
I went down memory lane and remembered where i went. It was the IRB office on 200 Rene levesque
Make sure it's the IRB office where you case is.
for instance, after i did the letter, they transferred my file to Vancouver. Had my file already been in vancouver, I think i might have had to fax or mail the letter rather than handing it over
