Hi , Applicants March & April 2023 , Please share if you have any update .

I'm starting to feel sad. If march is not processed yet, i'm from the far August , imagine how more we have to wait. Hopefully we don't have to wait until next year. Totally discouraging.

I understand how you feel... It's been so long. I'm also away from my kids. When we initially applied, the estimated processing time was 19 months . But hang in there, we have to keep the faith and hold on for now...

Hello everyone;
Could somebody explain what is the difference between P1 and P2 ?. I am july 23 applicant and i have not gotten any portal request. Eligibility and pre-arrival received on October 24.

 

[Gelhat]

Portal 1(P1) is the first email from IRCC asking you to confirm that you’re inside Canada and to provide your personal details so they can create your PR portal account. After you reply, you’ll receive Portal 2(P2), which gives you access to the PR Confirmation Portal. In P2, you log in, upload a photo, confirm your address, and declare that you’re still in Canada. Once completed, you’ll receive your eCOPR (electronic Confirmation of Permanent Residence), followed by your PR card by mail.

Even If i did my pr application online (via portal) will i get P1? Are they asking for another portal account?

[Gelhat]

Yes, even if you submitted your PR application online using the IRCC PR portal, you will still receive P1 at the final stage of processing. this is a different portal system used only for confirming PR status.

appreciate for clear information, thank you very much. Good luck.

Maybe. But looks like it’s 29 months because February applicants have heard about their applications in July. And we are still in first of August. Let’s see.

Maybe. But looks like it’s 29 months because February applicants have heard about their applications in July. And we are still in first of August. Let’s see.

Look at the data trend: January applicants received their decisions in less than 28 months. For February applicants, the first half received decisions at 28.5 months, and the second half at around 29 months. However, March applicants haven’t received anything yet, even though it's now past 29 months. The progression is no longer exponential like before, which is good, but it’s still increasing in a linear pattern.
