July 2024 refugee claimant
- Thread starter Lynoverse1
- Start date
my friend was asked to submit supporting document 10 days ago. He applied at the POE Pearson airport in August 11. 2024.
why not? i have seen other 2 got their NOD without having hearing within a week after document submission. who knows he might also get lucky to have positive result.
Within a week? That is extremely unusual. Also could need a hearing and wait another 1-2 years. Having no expectation is the best way to approach an asylum claim timeline.
I know a friend who submitted the evidence for less complex and received the positive NOD within 1 month, all the process from arriving to Canada until receiving the NOD took less than 8 months. Then he applied for PR for himself and his family and got a travel document and now he's with his family. He will stay outside Canada with his family (in a third country other than than his home country of course) until the PR is processed.. then he will be back to Canada. (I don't know if this will cause him any problems, i.e. staying for many months outside Canada with his family)?
So.. It happens.. Some applicants are really 'lucky'.. Their file is processed fast, but maybe these are like 2-3% of the total applicants. For the rest (97%) or even more, it takes from 1 year to over 2 years to reach the decision/hearing stage.
Like Canuck78 said, having no expectation is the best way to approach an asylum claim timeline. It may well take more than 2 years (now estimated time is 27 months as per IRCC). Just get yourself a job, develop yourself, get yourself occupied. Don't overthink.... (Easily said I know.. I myself became hopeless)!!!!

Many countries won’t let you visit for an extended period of time so that may be the first issue. Assume this person has advised government agency that he is no longer in Canada especially if he is receiving any form of payment from Canada. The person should really be establishing their lives in Canada so when their family is approved they can easily transition to Canada and at least one parent has funds, a job and housing. Granting protected person status was not meant to allow recent applicants to live abroad while applying for PR. No issues visiting.
