Refugee case under file review process for less complex cases
- Thread starter Skyline2019
- Start date
How much is the time waiting after receiving less complex letter for review process? To receive the hearing letter
Some get approved without a hearing. Usually 3-9 months but expect delays due to covid.
Igot selected in feb 2019, submitted my documents on time, then got approval letter in april, it ws just 1.5 Month.. in may 2019 i applied for pr nd stiill waiting
Here’s an overview of my timeline
November 2018 - Applied for refugee protection in Canada
January 2019 - Case referred to the refugee board
May 2020 - Hearing date but cancelled as a result of COVID-19
Mid September 2020 - Considered for processing under the file review process without hearing
15 October 2020 - Submitted all docs to RPD for the file review process
5 November 2020 - Refugee claim accepted without hearing
Good luck to everyone waiting
Were you from one of the countries considered for expedited processing? You were scheduled for a hearing and doesn't sound like you were selected for expedited processing initially but then were lucky enough to not have to wait for another hearing and were approved.
I am not from any of the countries considered for expedited processing. Just had a good case with respect to country conditions and a little bit of luck to be chosen for the file review process.
Sounds like they are allowing more cases to be assessed without a hearing due to covid.
Please could you tell how and when did you receive your decision. Was it through mail?

Hi @Refugeeinquiry, my claim was decided 15 days after I submitted all my documents to the refugee board and I received the Notice of Decision in the mail 3 days after.
Thank you. That was quick. one more question. Did you summit your documents through epost or in person.
@Refugeeinquiry, I mailed my documents via FEDEX courier. It arrived IRB a day after I posted it.
Hey. One last question did you also summit your certificate of readiness while summiting the documents.
