I received the notice of decision a month after my refugee claim hearing. I don’t remember the exact date when I found the notice of decision in my mailbox.
I am going to apply for citizenship soon. At the physical presence calculator I need to mention the date when I became protected person. I found three different dates on my notice of decision:
Date of hearing
Date of decision and reason
A date when the case officer signed the notice of decision
Among these three dates which one is the date to be mentioned at the physical presence calculator as the date I became protected person?
Your information is highly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanking you!
Hi,
I have the same situation, which date I have to consider since I have received a positive decision from the judge during my hearing. However, the decision-made letter was sent after a month or so. Please advise
The date on the NOD is the always the date where you are considered to have become a protected person. For example you may have been approved at the hearing verbally but what counts is the date specified in the written NOD.
Yes, same thing. Accepted at the hearing and the letter does not explicitly say the decision has been made on the same day, and there is a date at the end of the letter, assuming the date when it was sent.

I think you applied when you had 1100 days of presence in Canada according to your signature. How many days difference do you have between hearing date and date of the notice of decision? If it is more than 5 days, it proves that date of the hearing is the protected person approval date.

Why do you want to take the hearing date when along with your NOD you have an explanation of the reasons for this decision where it is written DATE OF DECISION : mm/dd/yyyy ?

The Refugee Protection Division determines that the claimant is a Convention refugee and therefore accepts the claim.
December 19, 2019
Second page states that where the hearing was held and name of the judge, me and my lawyer. Also there is a date which is November 2, 2019
On last page December 12, 2019 is written under the transcriptionist's signature which I believe it is when transcriptionist wrote the reasons of decision.
