Hi everyone,

My mothers Refugee claimant document expires soon, she went to see doctor today and lady at reception said she needs to renew her refugee document otherwise doctor won't take her through her IFHP coverage. Can't find any info on that and can't get hold of CIC by phone

My refugee document expired as well last month (issued in 2012)
I got a positive hearing, do I still need to renew the document?

I agree with "immigrant2012legacy" ... I joined the group and it wasn't easy for me to track everything in there, especially for someone like me who is not on WhatsApp all the time. Here, it's more direct.

Anyway, immigrant2012legacy - I figured out, the best time to call Immigration Canada between 7:55 - 8:05 AM .. there shouldn't be a lot of waiting calls.

Or, you can go to the same place where you submitted your refugee claim and they will advise.

How did that work out for you? my claimant paper also expired last year and I’m planning to see my doctor for urgent need. My concern is will the IFHP cover me after my claimant paper has already expired And about humanitarian compassion ground?....it’s past the 1 year bar after my claim was rejected by federal court. Any advice friends

Health coverage is not guaranteed for H&C applicants. Some are working therefore get coverage through the province. What is your status and what was the expiry date on IFHP?
