Has any August 30 applicant received an update following the completion and update of Medical in June?

Hi guys.
It seems like there is a delay on Final Decision for who applied after August16 on Spreadsheet.

Is there anybody who recently got final decision although applied after August 16?

Yes, it definitely appears to be so, I applied August 17th - nothing yet, just passed medical and biometrics, hopefully they start with people after 15th of August soon, because otherwise it is quite upsetting.

No. Somehow, they haven't sent out the Final Decisions and Portal 1s after sending them out to August 15th applicants. It's been two weeks.

Hello All,

I submitted ADR for police certificate via Mail.

But my IRCC profile is not updated and still shows ADR needed.

How long does it take for IRCC profile to be updated or should I submit anything there as well ??

Thanks ,
but it reached even to 21 months for a short time. Therefore it seems that there is not any guarantee, specifically now that AOR time has become 2 times more .

Exactly. Unfortunately, the average processing time is never guaranteed as they can speed up or, more likely, slow down the process at any time.

Resume/CV for Non-Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Hello fellow members,
It seems that some applicants have received ADR (Additional Document Requests) related to their Resume/CV after submitting their application under the Non-Express Entry PNP stream. I'm trying to understand what exactly IRCC expects from the Resume/CV in this context.

Besides ensuring the timeline is accurate and consistent with other documents, should we format it like a typical job-market resume? For example:
– Is it acceptable to omit jobs that lasted less than six months?
– Can we describe our duties in our own words instead of copying them directly from the job description?
– Is a LinkedIn profile required or recommended?
_ Any other features you might think of.

I’d appreciate any insights or shared experiences. Thank you!

Could you shed some light on this? @Miss bee Thank you so much!

Comment for higher visibility... Yes, I got background completed and have had 2 ghost updates since. No portal email or FD.

They are not linked, sometimes you'll get one updated but not the other one.

I got FD on June 18th, P1 on June 19th, but my tracker only updated "background check completed" until July 11th.

I received P2 today but my GCKey says eligibility is still in progress and PR tracker says eligibility not started.

 

[andrews17]

Received P2 today, 41 days after P1. Timeline in my signature.

Public consultations on Canada’s next Immigration Levels Plan now open

Each year, the federal department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is required to consult broadly as part of its development of the annual Immigration Levels Plan which outlines Canada’s immigration targets for the coming three years. The Levels Plan sets targets for new permanent residents (including provincial nominees), temporary workers and international students.

The 2025 consultations on immigration levels are currently open until August 17, 2025. To participate in the consultations, visit 2025 consultations on immigration levels - Canada.ca.

I sent an email to my regional MP explaining the current situation with the BC PNP, and I attached the text above. I also requested a meeting to discuss it further. I encourage everyone to follow up with their own MP as well. Additionally, we can consider creating a petition and sharing it widely to raise more awareness.

I completed the survey and submitted my comments and concerns. I encourage you to do the same.

Subject: Concern Regarding BC PNP Capacity Reduction

British Columbia really needs to invite at least 12,000 people in 2025 and next years. Mark Carney and his government must take action on this. The same applies to Ontario and other provinces. Why are they issuing 4,000 to 7,000 invitations per draw mainly for French-speaking applicants, but only 4,000 invitations for the entire year of 2025 in British Columbia, same condition to Ontario and other provinces ? Who made this unfair decision that restricts the provinces? It's disappointing to see political decisions being made disaster impact of people's lives and futures.

I’ve been thinking deeply about the recent federal decisions to significantly reduce provincial immigration capacities. It appears that one of the main reasons behind this reduction is the reallocation of resources to support asylum and refugee claims. While supporting humanitarian efforts is important, reducing PNP allocations from provinces like British Columbia—and others—to make room for asylum processing is not a fair or effective long-term strategy.

If a province like BC is unable or unwilling to take on additional asylum claimants and is consequently penalized with reduced PNP capacity, the result is serious harm to the skilled workforce pipeline and overall economic development—not just in BC, but in other provinces as well. Unfortunately, we are already seeing the effects of this in 2024 and the outlook for 2025 is even more concerning.

Whether these decisions are politically motivated or not, the negative impact is undeniable—particularly on skilled workers over 30 or 35 years old, who already face disadvantages in the Express Entry system due to age-based point reductions. Many of us—including myself—have chosen not to pursue asylum or other temporary pathways, but instead seek to contribute to Canada through our work, skills, and long-term integration via provincial programs. We believe this is the right and honest path, and it should not be blocked or sidelined by policies that do not prioritize fairness or transparency.

While the asylum system should remain available for individuals in true need, it’s becoming increasingly clear that many are using it as an alternative pathway, leading to strain on the system. Redirecting resources from skilled immigration to address this does not seem to be a balanced or sustainable solution.

BC’s nomination capacity was reduced from 12,000 in 2023 to 8,000 in 2024—a 33% reduction. Now, for 2025, it has been further reduced to only 4,000, a 50% cut from this year. That’s a major shock to the system. From what I understand, BC has had to halt new invitations under the BC PNP entirely for 2025, since over 5,200 profiles are already in the pool from previous years. This has left thousands of applicants in limbo, with no clear path forward.

This situation feels especially unfair and distressing to those of us already living and working in BC—particularly in remote or northern communities where jobs are harder to find and settling is more difficult. Many families, including mine, chose to make long-term commitments to BC, and now we are left with uncertainty and frustration.

While some provinces have reportedly agreed to accept more asylum seekers in exchange for maintaining or increasing their PNP allocations, I truly hope BC can also work with the federal government to resolve this issue and restore its nomination capacity. The province had requested at least 11,000 nominations for 2025, and that level of support is truly needed to match the demand and keep people hopeful.

This situation affects not just me, but thousands of families across the province—likely more than 10,000 people—who are currently stuck in the BC PNP pool with no movement. We are living with daily concern and uncertainty about our future. I sincerely hope that BC can work with the federal government to resolve this situation and restore its nomination capacity. The province had requested at least 11,000 nominations for 2025, which is a fair and necessary number to support its labour needs. Thousands of people—including many families who have already settled and are contributing to BC—are now stuck in limbo, facing daily uncertainty with no invitation opportunities in sight.

Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and consideration.

Sincerely,
So many Families at BC

I encourage everyone to follow up with their own MP as well. Additionally, we can consider creating a petition and sharing it widely to raise more awareness.

Also, if anyone has direct email contacts or access to government officials or the Immigration Minister, it would be helpful to share and send emails like this to them as well.

P.S. I sent an email, including the attached text, to Mrs. Metlege Diab and Mr. Marc Carney, and cc'd all the BC Parliament Members as well as two other MPs from Ontario.

 

[MP_002]

Just wondering if anyone can share their experience about their PR application progress after contacting MP.
