I saw this too! Gives us a bit more hope but at the same time we're getting nervous for other reasons..

My wife (the PA) will be going back to our home country for ~2 months in February 2026. If we get P1/P2/COPR done by December 2025 as that tracker says, I really hope the PR card comes ASAP before she leaves. With how the rotating Canada Post strike goes, I'm afraid that card might get delayed. Then again, I'm going back there later so perhaps I can hand carry it to her and return together.

Me and my family also went through the PR process back in 2010 and we do not have too fond of a memory waiting for the PR card, took us almost 4 months to get them. Hopefully that's not the case.

We just got our request for the Biometrics Fee!. Looks like things are moving?

Although I'm concerned they do not have the updated address on file even after submitting our updated address via e-form...

That’s a good sign. Congrats.

It's weird that I have not seen September 2024 applicants reporting at least P1

They just sent out final decisions for Aug 31 2024 applicants last week Friday, so hopefully they will start finalizing Sept 2024 apps this week! I think we should see some bgc completions for the beginning of Sept very soon

I requested GCMS notes a few months ago and haven't even received those yet. This has been a ride!

Wow that's insane. I bet your application will already be approved by the time you get those notes smh. IRCC really does have a sense of humor, but wishing you the best of luck - it's almost over!

So I am a bit confused now...

The letter we got is requesting the $85 biometrics fee:

Payment Receipt: We have not received your Biometrics Fee of $85.00 on file. In order to avoid further delays in the processing of your application, the required Biometrics Fee has been recovered from the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) that you initially submitted with your Application for Permanent Residence.

Please submit the outstanding payment of $85.00 by following the instructions below in order to complete your Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF):

Is this fee something extra on top of the fee we have to pay when we file the application?
When we submitted the application, a total fee of $1,205.00.

As per the website, the $1,205.00 is from: Sponsorship fee ($85), principal applicant processing fee ($545) and right of permanent residence fee ($575)
