I assume this has to do with my PR application. I am not single. I'm her with my spouse and 3kidz and we all got our PR cards same day.
PENDING NOD 1YR 9MONTHS!
- Thread starter WATCHTOWA
- Start date
My friend received a negative decision months before I initiated this discussion. He still never told me the truth, but I found out via a life assurance broker we both use. Not sure he needed my help as I taught.
Actually this was the first thing I taught when I read this thread last year, the story was super wierd and strange.
This is usual, it depends on your country of citizenship, and your case. It took me 2 years 8 months to get my hearing, and then 4 weeks to get a positive decision, and now PR in process. Pray hard and wait patiently. God is faithful and Merciful, He knows what we all go through in this life.

Did you respond bad to the minister’s questions ? Were his questions difficult ? My first hearing was cancelled due to the minister’s intervention and I have received a new short hearing notice with the minister’s intervention for June. Hope it will be alright.
If you read the post you would know that this friend was under the false impression that their friend had been waiting almost 2 years for their NOD when in fact they had been denied asylum and had not been honest with their friend.
And he is still exhibiting the same false impression. I understand some people find it shameful, or not comfortable telling people when they get a negative decision, or when there are issues with their refugee claim. I believe in speaking out when in trouble.
Minister intervened in my refugee claim in 2020, and my lawyer as at that time refused to keep representing me at the same time. It was as if my whole world was crumbling right in front of me and my pregnant wife became so agitated. I had two options, either to keep mute, do things my way and probably get things more complicated or speak out so those with similar experience could guide me. After 30mins, I stepped out to see my friend whose matter is the subject of this thread, he introduced me to his lawyer, the lawyer told me my story was superb and doesn't need any addition, we agreed terms of service, he got me a hearing date 2weeks after, had my hearing 3mths later and got a positive NOD 5months after my hearing. We don't know who has the solution to our matters at times, and keeping quiet when in trouble is not always the best!
okay I see. Honesty is the key to success, if one hides the truth, he or she may end up not getting right solutions to the problem, and this is where delays and denials set in. Good luck to him/her.
Yes honestly is key to success but there are many who think asylum is easy to obtain and aren’t true asylum seekers. Many take their chances or are lead to believe that they will easily be able to obtain asylum in Canada they just need to get to Canada. We don’t know what the story is with regards to OP.
I appreciate everyone who responded to my inquiry and offered possible explanations for the delayed decision. Unfortunately, my friend had lied, he was initially denied but later granted stay on humanitarian grounds. It's disheartening when people mislead us, even when we are genuinely concerned for them.
