hello can you guide me how do we know the status of our case like it is complex or less complex etc...
hello can you please guide how do we know about status of our case like this is complex or less complex etc... because I only know that I applied via lawyer and i have only irccc portal access where no updates after receiving work permit.and lawyer is not guiding about complex less complex.he only says wait for 1 year after getting your work permit
Hi, the IRB will let you know once they have had a chance to review your file and you know about that.
Thank you for reply, actually i am confused after reading some post here,
My timeline is
26.4.2024 claim applied inland Edmonton
10.5.2024 medical
22.5.2024 biomatric nd work permit received and case refered to RPD IRB.
20.8.2024 background check completed
This is only information i have because I have access to my ircc portal.
I don't know about story or BOC or anything else.my consultant didn't share anything except saying wait for 1 year after biomatric.now it's been 9 month and a lawyer mailed me that you have hired us as retainer,we confirm that your files have been added to our IRB portal .my consultant stopped me to reply them and told let them do their work, it's a formality email.
So what is your files added to our IRB portal?
Can I also access IRB portal?
I tried to use ircc portal credentials but didn't works.
What should I do further?
The IRB portal is for lawyers. the IRCC postal won't show anything about IRB for the most part. You can call IRB but they don't like that either, they told me to stop calling them after calling a few times.
Assume you were told that there are around 250k applications waiting to be processed so there is nothing they can tell you but your file is in the queue. They have no idea when you may actually get processed/get a hearing so there is no point in calling them frequently. Waiting times for hearing are going to surpass 2 years for many.
Don’t think you are aware how large a backlog exists in the system. You would be considered a relatively new claimant and may have quite a long wait ahead of you and there is nothing you can do about it.
thank you for your response, i am not curious about hearing,that i comes early or late.my confunsion is only that am i on right track? My consultant is not hiding anything etc.i had missed anything. Questions like this came in mind and then got depressive.because when met people who got their decision in 6.5 and 8.5 months, believe it i have met them and they were cleared in that time and I don't know anything about case and about its ptogress
Just started in the process but this chat thread has been incredibly information and answers a lot of questions

Comparing yourself to other claimants is the worst thing you could to yourself and I learned that the hard way. I waited 10 months for my eligibility interview and to get a work permit while my friend went through the whole process in just 11 months. I wish i did not know that, honestly. My advice for you would be: if you have a work permit, focus on your job, go to the gym if you haven't been going, find a local organization doing something you are interested in and join them as volunteer, I'd even come to this forum less often because even if it's a great resource, it can be frustrating at time especially when you are waiting for long period of times. Take care of yourself is the only thing you can do while waiting because you don't have control over how long this gonna take. I hope all go well for you and you will get a hearing date soon.
Congratz on getting positive decision. Had one question in mind, the evidence submitted to IRB, do they verify the information such as origin of screenshots/recordings? DO they contract government or organization from country of origin for the claimant to verify paperwork?
Thanks in advance
