Eligible refugee claimants are normally issued a work permit that is valid for two years. It is important to apply to renew the work permit before it expires. The work permit will continue to need to be renewed until the person has become a permanent resident.

Hi guys,

I recently received the invite to the eligibility interview. Can someone please tell me what happens at the eligibility interview? What kind of questions will they be asking?

Thank you so much.

Your case will be referred to IRB and you will get the brown paper and your work permit. Biometrics. That's it they won't question you.

yes, they just ask you basic questions about what you submitted. Just remember the dates that you wrote about things like when you experience persecution and such.

Omg it’s been too long, but I think it’s because of Quebec, I had a friend who waited for 2 years to get a hearing. I hope you get yours pretty soon. Where are you from?

I applied in September 2023 Montreal, I have gotten my work permit but no hearing date yet . I wanted to know if I move from Quebec to another province and update my address will that help to expedite my hearing date ?

The other provinces are faster when it comes to hearing dates. Buuuut the thing is moving your case from one province to another is a nightmare, your files can get lost, your officer can transfer everything so slow.

Go to vancouver or edmonton, get a legal aid lawyer but try all your options before you choose one. Write your narrative as a story, detailed but not too much.

From what I know, it is faster to submit after you get visitor visa and have time to get a lawyer than actually filing at the airport, once you get here.

It’s a bit scary for me at the airport. I would like to go for it once I cleared immigration
