Work permit for asylum seekers

[chan2023]

When did you do your immigration medical and submit your BOC? When I made my claim, that's when the processing time started for my work permit.

Thank you. I completed and submitted my BOC at end of October 2022, the Medical test on 26th November, and then my Bopmetric on 13th December. and did not have an interview even a letter said interview. that day I only had biometrics.

Just a wild guess , but maybe it’s the TENS of THOUSANDS of asylum claimants that’s affecting processing times . You know ?

OP can call IRB or use his Lawyer for follow up. They could be interesting information, someone holding the file. My quit guess is he was International Student changing to Refugee Claimant, though that could not be the case, All he can do is for OP Lawyer to contact intake office directly

It is very long, not to mention BOC was Sep 2021. so it has been around 18 months without work permit.

No I don't. Asylum claimants are just a small amount of what Canada is receiving immigrants from many different programs and applications. I got to say, it is the amount of other programs that's affecting asylum applicants crazy long wait times.

I did follow up with them on my own, they said I have to submit another WP application which I did, still no news from that one either.

We’re in the refugee section of this site , so my comment was in connection to asylum seekers.
I suppose they should process claimants that came across the border prior to those fleeing a war . Guess they should apologize.
