...I know a close family that have been waiting also for 30Months.The waiting time especially for Legacy Refugee in Canada is the worst in the world its like Canada indirectly saying we don't want you here! During those period,even a condemned prisoner almost possess some right that the Refugee claimant since you cannot leave Canada even to visit a nearby country and cannot be visited by family members from abroad since visa request are obviously DENIED judging from those currently passing through the experience. All one can say is don't loose hope maybe or perhaps one day God will touch the heart of the Minister to give a little consideration to Refugge case by deploying a little more resources to conclude cases.I know a couple of people who are at a stage of even if denied their claim atleast,they can return somewhere where they can leave a normal life

I spoke to the MP office near my area and I was told that they were unable to get any status update from IRB :eek:

Hello,

I am a refugee claimant, It is a Legacy Claim fom 2012. I am waiting for my hearing and I do not have hearing date.
I am hoping I will be accepted but I would like to know what do I can do if I will be rejected. Because I have to think ahead. I know if any one rejected do not have much time to do something.
So, If I make an appeal or/and after I request a Federal Court Review how is the timelines, please?
How is the process time of appeal?
How is the process time of request a Federal Court Review?

I think if irb cannot give u date early its mean...good for u...keep taking...welfare. ..as long as ur date dont come....plus...after 2 year...ur case falls in hnc automatically...so its win win situation...who r in line...waiting for hearing. ...
Can anybody tell me where it says that 'you're automatically accepted on Humanitarian Grounds after two years of waiting for a hearing? I couldn't find it anywhere online, is it true? If so, I guess a huge number of people who have been waiting for more than two years can benefit from that! I've 'only' been waiting for almost seven months now, but at least that would also be a 'good side' of things out of all this waiting in the dark. Can anybody answer that?

There is no such thing as "automatically accepted on Humanitarian Grounds" no matter you are living in canada for 30 years.

..P.Wolf Canada is the only developed country in the world that most of the time don't respect timelines.If you've been reading people post you will see that Timelines with CIC/IRB can be so unpredictable.ie some Protected Persons got their PR after their hearing in less than 4 weeks,some 7 months,some 1 year and many have waited for more than 3 years.so just keep on following up by calling relevant agencies for status of your case and.......keep praying while hoping for quick Turnaround Goodluck!
