Seeking Insights: Refugee Sponsorship Timeline (IRCC Cairo Office)

[Dani_2000]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice or experiences from others regarding my case under the refugee sponsorship program, processed through the Cairo office. Here's a summary of my timeline so far:

Application received: July , 2023
Processing started: August , 2024
Additional documents requested and submitted: April, 2024, submitted April 2024
Interview: September , 2024
Pre-arrival services letter: September, 2024
Medical instructions sent: September , 2024
Medical exam completed: October, 2024
Medical results received by IRCC: October, 2024

I've received confirmation from my sponsor and a government worker that all steps (medical, interview, and security checks) have been passed. They mentioned that we are waiting for final decision-making


However, the status online still shows in Process, and I haven't received any further updates since October 2024 It's now January 2025, and the wait has been challenging.


Has anyone gone through a similar timeline, especially in the Cairo office? How long did it take for the Decision Made update or travel arrangements to follow? I'm particularly worried about delays but i trust God


Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences or insights!

Man, you're so lucky things are moving faster for you than a lot of folks here. I'm betting you'll land this year for sure. The way IRCC is processing files, it's taking forever just to even get an AOR, let alone an interview.
