I’ve applied on December,22nd Ontario - Toronto (Etobicoke). Medical I’ve finished on January 7th. First interview was scheduled for February 17th when they seized my passport. Work Permit they sent me via Canada Post on March 8th. In Etobicoke where I’ve been for the interview, lady said me that I will wait 4-6 weeks for the next interview but still nothing.
My husband applied in November, 1st in Montreal, QC. They seized his passport November 1st, 2nd interview he got Convenient Refugee Document - November 28th, they sent his Work Permit on December, 1st. His IRB hearing is scheduled for March 31st. In each province is different and to be honest I don’t know how is in British Colombia, but I hope that this should help approximately to have some answers.
