Which province can you please tell?WORK PERMIT
Hello everyone. Just hoping someone could help my sister’s situation.
She is a refugee claimant and she finished her first interview with IRCC, they took her passport and biometrics and medical has been passed. After 1 month she received her WORK PERMIT without eligibility interview. This was a public policy of IRCC issuing WORK PERMIT faster for refugee claimant without eligibility interview.
My sister went to Service Canada to get SIN number but they didn't give her one because they told her that she needs to wait for the eligibility interview. My sister has the work permit already on hand and she gave the work permit to Officer of Service Canada.
Please help, my sister really wants to work.
Thank yoi

did you get yet?Hello, I’ve also received Work Permit, I’ve got SIN number, I am wondering what else I need to have health coverage?
i wasn’t called yet for the second interview.
When did you submit BOC and biometricsHi everyone..
I read somewhere that last November 2022 there was an initiative to process the work permit for refugee claimants even before the eligibility interview. This is to enable refugee claimants to find jobs and provide for themselves and their families (if they are with them).
Accordingly, the normal thing is that refugee claimants in 2023 will receive their work permit even before eligibility interview.
I received mine first a notification by email on September 29, then I received the actual work permit by mail on October 8. The eligibility interview followed after 2 weeks.
Now waiting for news from IRB.
As of end of September 2023, the backlog of refugee claims is 126,703
