Quick Answer: What happened and how can GCMS notes help?
Delays in refugee and protection proceedings may occur at the IRB hearing scheduling level, during CBSA security screening, or during IRCC post-hearing permanent resident processing. Official case records indicate which agency holds your pending file.
