What do you define as very long time? Has your case been determine as less complex or normal case?
How to check status
- Thread starter GBMfaith
- Start date
It hasn't been determined yet and I didn’t receive anything from IRB. Lastly, I checked the portal account and saw there was a 2nd time background check done on July 21st.
If you were in the western part I would give you a number to call. I was calling and a lady in Vancouver was very kind and was explaining every process to me and once she told me she would try to get a closer date for me. In the end I received my refugee status in only 10 months. That means in June 2023. Don’t rely on lawyers they are businessmen sometimes you have to fight by yourself.
Thanks for your valuable comment. I'm in Toronto, and I'll call them soon. You're right.

Whether you qualify as less complex has a large influence on how fast your case will be processed.
Yeah, they did background check 2nd time on July 21st. On February 06, 2023 they checked once.
I understand, that's what I'm praying for. I wish if it's considered as less complex.

If you are considered we less complex you should hear soon. Applying for asylum involves mostly waiting. If you already have a WP I would focus on working, finding permanent housing, etc. which are things that are in your control at the moment.
