Honestly i don't think judge really care about which country your came from and which way you came here . As long as you can prove what you claiming. They not gonna reach to a conclusion based on you country condition. Of course if its on one of the countries that fall into expedite process.

Sorry to hear that but i was also waiting from 2018 . I got my hearing exactly after three year. I know it's frustrating but RPD is dealing with backlog. Changing lawyer not gonna help you to get an hearing schedule.

What country you are from certainly has an influence. There are certain countries where there is almost guaranteed acceptance due to the conditions in the country. For example if you are from Yemen or Afghanistan you are almost guaranteed approval unless you have strong links to the major groups fighting or fought yourself.

I think i already mentioned about the expedite process counties on my comments. Anyhow as i was not from one of those and as per my hearing went the judge was not interested on my country condition. As i submitted 100 pages of country condition not a single word was mentioned on my NOD about my country condition. All was about the fact and the evidence that i submitted. My thought is to focus more on you claim rather depending on country condition. Honestly i saw a dramatic change of behavior on judge after 7/8 questions. He was more relaxed then before when asking questions and the questions gets more easy and basic. The first 7/8 questions was the tricky one . I think i had a good impression after those.
He didn't even ask for lawyer submission. End of the day every case is different and we can't predict anything. Best of luck everyone.

Hello everyone,
Today I received my positive decision electronically through my counsel.
My hearing was scheduled for March 13 and the member made her decision on March 18 and they sent the electronic version of the NOD to my counsel through MyCase Portal and mailed it to me and my counsel. I have not received the mail yet but I am going to apply for my health card and PR ASAP with this electronic version.
I hope everyone gets their positive decision soon.
Here the timeline for my case:
1. Made the claim in June 2019.
2. Got a "less complex" letter a few months later.
3. Then nothing until December 2019 when I called IRB and they said they have decided to have a short hearing.
4. Then Covid hit in March and nothing for almost 9 months later
5. 3 months ago I received a Notice to Appear letter.
6. March 13 was the hearing and the member did not make a decision. The fact that she did not make a decision at the hearing was extremely stressful.
7. I called IRB multiple times and first week after hearing they had no updates. Second week they said that they had a decision but sent it to a third party company for transcription. Third week I called they said to wait.
8. Finally I received the electronic NOD today April 6. So totally it took almost 3 weeks.

From the day I made a claim until today it took almost 1 year and 8 months.
Hey there ! Same here got acceptance letter electronically through my lawyer's portal yesterday, but still waiting for the original to come through mail. Did you receive the mail yet or not? How long did it take?
