Hello, could you please advise me if I need to take 4 original passport-size photos with me when I return for an interview regarding my refugee application? I have received a document that says - NOTICE TO RETURN FOR INTERVIEW, and the location is Vancouver Immigration. Thank you.

No. It was done online by the lawyer. They seized my passport because they arrested me at the airport.
If you got detained at the airport you must have claimed asylum there or else you would have likely been refused entry to Canada.

Hi
I´m kind in the same situation , I applied in this new portal , I have a "AOC and notice to return for interview" but not dat or time, the information in the portal said submmited but nothing has changed since a month. I don´t have a work permit or brown paper, I can´t recieve income support because I don´t have the brown paper , I´m still waiting for Legal Aid to see if the´re going to help me. I also went to IRCC offices but they told me I needed to contact CBSA offices , I called CBSA offices and they told me is with IRCC ... So I don´t know what to do next, do you have any update of your case?
when did and how you receive the date, I am in a same situation now

Hi everyone. Great forum.

I completed my Refugee application using the new online portal. I received the "Acknowledgement of Claim and Notice to Return for Interview" letter. However, the letter had no date, time, or location for the interview. Is this normal?

I have been trying to reach the IRCC for weeks now to find out if that was an error or if I should sit and wait.

Have anyone made a refugee claim within the past six months? If so, how has the process been so far? Can you all provide some advice on this matter? I know I have to complete that interview before a work permit can be processed and forwarded to me. Any suggestions?
Hello, could you explain the timeline for refugee claim? Thank you.
