2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[jackastor34]

hello fellas . I came to Canada in 2019 and applied for asylum. My PR card hadn’t arrived by 2023, but I received an email asking me to fill out a form for my PR card but ı didnt get any update from them. meanwhile Unfortunately I had to leave Canada because of my father’s health. My question is this: I have a RTDthat is not valid — can I re-enter Canada with it, or is there any way for me to return? I just want to be able to get back to Canada.

I dont think the processing timeline is correct. Its showing that January applicants still have 5-6 months left while most of them have already received their ecoprs and PR cards?

She’s an immigration lawyer, and she told me IRCC follows the published timelines. Also, not everyone from January and February has received PR yet—based on the published data, about 900 January and 1,100 February applicants are still waiting. By my reading, that suggests roughly half (or a bit more) have been processed so far, given there were about 2,000–3,000 applicants per month for 2023.


Either way, our situation is difficult. Let’s organize and ask for help—contact MPs, submit a petition, and request that IRCC increase the quota.

Depends on what kind of immigration lawyer u met, some of them I know they focus on some stream. And ignore others stream. Second Somme of them are very discouraging rather then working on particular case example every case is different and she is right according to current information which is very basic knowledge, January and February are still waiting because their files are complicated like security is still pending u know some countries like example Iran applicants having issues even express entry too taking long for
Them. Another if ur things got done u shouldn’t be waiting. Lawyers need to work out a bit narrow think that what makes you wait rather then giving u basic information and letting you go. But thanks for the info
