The first hearing is just to determine if you have the right to have your case for asylum heard. Many will be refused asylum after their hearing.
Nice, congrats!
Have you asked for a priority hearing? have you done anything recently? I applied before you but nothing yet.
Sin number is valid until its expire date. It does not matter your status changed from work permit to refugee or student to refugee. I was using my sin which I toke with my close work permit after I applied for refugee and it was valid until I was accepted. After getting your work permit as refugee you can extend your sin.
I think that is not correct. You will get a permanent sin when you are accepted. Anyway there is no need to report the sin number. Only employyers and CRA are interested in sin number.
Thank you. Actually 4 month ago l Called the IRB to asked about my hearing and I suggested to chose my case for expedite process but they told me I don’t have to suggest that because every case from the priority countries will go under expedite process.but also they told me even l received the expedite process form, that doesn’t mean that my case is finalized,it still need to scan by the judge.if he is persuaded with my evidence I will be accepted without hearing.If not I will go through a hearing.
That is great to hear you are expedited. But my personal experience with the expedited process was not good. I was expedited one month after application. They asked for more documents and I sent them in 15 days. Then I had a false hope that I will get the answer soon but for 8 months there was no news at all. 8 months! and I was checking the mailbox every day with hope to see the IRB letter. Finally, I called them several times and they said the caseworkers' group was changed and they canceled many expedited cases including me. The sad part is they will not inform us if we are still expedited or not.
Then I had a hearing scheduled and canceled and scheduled again and canceled and finally, I had my hearing.
I am not sure what is going on in IRB We have to wait and be patient and also we have to be ready for unexpected events too.
It is so difficult to live with false hope and then be disappointed.
That is what I did and still, my sin is working. Pay attention to the expire date of your sin.
Yes, that is correct.
I'm calling every 2-3 months and they keep telling me it's First In First Out which is ridiculous, sadly enough I can't tell them off. But at least your case was moved which is great either way (hearing or approval).
I wish they knew behind each bundle of papers there is the life of a family. Maybe your case fell down under the table and no one noticed. I would not be surprised if this joke is indeed true!
Not at all. only when is close to the expiry date of sin, go to Ontario service to extend it to the expiry date of the new work permit.
I told them that and they say we have a ''SYSTEM''. I met the ugly face of Canada.
Only Canadian citizens and Permenent Residents qualify for a permenent SIN number.
