Hi all, can someone help me? I just want to fine out if there is any way to request for hearing date at the immigration and Refugee Board? Its three years since i applied for asylum at the port of entry, Toronto Airport. since then, no thing.
 
Hi Refugee. Sorry it's so sad. I waited for 2yrs and5 months to get my hearing from Jan2012 till June 2014. After the hearing. It took the judge 6 months...to give me decision..but thank God I got a positive result Dec... pls be calling IRB 3 times every month as I was advised by gogia. U will ge a hearing date...
 
I also filed in October 2012 in Toronto and still waiting. I call the IRB almost every other week and the answer is the same, no hearing date has been set yet. The last call I made the lady told me its normal to go up to 3 yrs without a hearing. So I'm still waiting, I feel your pain!!
 
Hi, I made refugee claim last year, at that time i had my hearing date, but it was canceled due to security screening, they told me that new hearing will be re-scheduled within 6 month, but its been more than 6 months now, still no hearing that for me. I feel so bad.

First of all, you wrote "Cic is putting on hold new cases for hearing" that is not true, cuz almost all cases are heard on time. So, you lied.
Then, u wrote "u r not reading posts on this forum for people who r waiting for hearing" - but all posts on this topic are from people who applied before December 2012. So, u lied again.
And as for your views on conservative party - i don't care about it, cuz you have zero influence on it. You can only discuss it in your kitchen.
 
Dear Encantado and Gogia;

There is no doubt that CIC delaying PR applicant under Protected Class. Any one can see how the process of Phase I increased from 2 months in Dec. 2013 to 12 months now. It seems that its still increasing there is no breakthrough that will make it up soon. The number of people who received PR recently appeared to be low at least on this forum, which suggest it might be some increasing also in Phase II. Many cases here are waiting more than 12 months for Phase II (see Sofian posts in the name is correct).

Secondly, please we are adult people here. We should not say like those words. You are free to share your opinion and expectation. No one should critic another.
Best hope for all.

Unfortunately the number of approved applications is not relevant if to judge according to this forum. Because we have here 20-30 active members under protected persons category. But in reality there are thousands of applications. Ant they don't post their timeline here.

Even we are few, but there are people here who are waiting for so long. The time line of Phase I on CIC website keep increasing. These are strong evidents that some thing has changed on the proccessing system led to increasing the waiting time. I am suffering from this. If you feel comfortable with it, that is great for you.

This process is wavy. A couple of years ago the first stage was 13 months. Then it decreased to 2 months. Then again. You are not the first and not the least. It's just a fact of real life.
