Okay... just to confirm, if you were given the choice to return to your home country and wait there, but in return your PR would be ready in eight months and then you could come back to Canada as a full PR - you'd take that deal?

So I was trying to demonstrate why no one in this position should want to sacrifice protection in the name of faster processing.

(I suppose at this point it's academic - I'm not sure when https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...pplementary-immigration-levels-2026-2028.html came out but it seems like the plan from the current administration is for approved refugees and protected persons to get their PR within the next two years from now. The gov't here wants to both give you protection and faster processing. Edit: Basically I greatly underestimated the ability of the current admin to find a way to navigate this and find a solution in the current political climate. Mea culpa - but I'm also happy that they were able to do this.)


Hmm. So my home country is one that is currently run by clowns and sinks deeper and deeper into human rights abuses every day. It gets worse and worse. In a world where the status of a country itself didn't matter, I probably could stake out such a claim successfully.

But here's why I won't. The PR granted to an approved refugee is actually inferior to that granted via other pathways. I came in via an economic stream, and got my PR that way. The benefit is that I don't have to worry about cessation. Right now, even though I may not like to do so, I can travel to my home country and renew my national passport without worry.

If I were to renounce my PR, make my refugee claim, and get approved, and obtain PR again as a refugee, then this changes. Even after receiving PR, I must use an RTD and be careful not to travel to my home country ever, except in the most extreme of circumstances - and even then only with the approval of a lawyer experienced in this area. Failure to follow this rule could cause me to lose my PR entirely and I may even be forced to leave Canada.

The other aspect here is - a refugee who has PR of Canada is in a slightly more secure position than an approved refugee who lacks it. So one can value protection over fast process but still apply for and hope for PR w/o being some sort of
You can use your superior PR to contest for canada Prime Minister. What sense does your argument make to you?So everyone must come under economic stream?Why don't you stay in your country and make it great?You are yet to tell this forum what someone with economic stream pr can do and others cannot do.Nonesense talk.

if you were skilled you would obviously come through entry express as an example. what’s wrong with that you seem mad unless you have no education and just want to be here by any means and get processed faster.
chill boy
 
I thought about how they reached 115k. They're probably based on applications from June 2025 and before. Because when you look at the IRCC processing time tool for June 2025, the number of pending applications appears to be around 114,900.

Why dont you use your so called education in your country?You have all the skills, you cant use it for the benefit of your own country. So all protected persons are not Educated?I can see you are an educated illiterate.

Nonsense. Citizenship is obviously required for that.

Nonsense. It's just to emphasis that the protected person pathway is about protection. I mean, it's literally in the name.

Nonsense. I literally answered this. Let me quote myself:

I don't understand how you are failing to grasp this. Let me state it again:

> So I was trying to demonstrate why no one in this position should want to sacrifice protection in the name of faster processing.
So all protected persons are not Educated?

No one is saying that. I agree with the points made earlier in this thread about many refugees actually having good careers like being doctors, nurses, etc.
Why dont you use your so called education in your country?

I have. You think I came straight here after graduating or something? That's not the case.
You have all the skills, you cant use it for the benefit of your own country.

I wouldn't say that I have "all" the skills, but I can certainly use the ones I do possess for the benefit of both Canada and my home country - from within Canada. Canada recognized this, hence why I was able to come in via economic stream.
Why don't you stay in your country and make it great?
I've noticed that you haven't answered any of my questions to you. So I'll tell you what - I'll answer this if you answer one of mine. Until then, you'll have to wonder. Specifically, this one:

IRCC Confirms a One-Time Fast-Track for Protected Persons’ PR Applications

For anyone still waiting on their PR under the Protected Person category, the 2025 Federal Budget officially includes a one-time initiative to finalize our applications faster.

According to the government’s own statement in Budget 2025 (Chapter: Immigration System Recalibration):

“The Government is implementing a one-time initiative over a two-year period to streamline the transition of approximately 115,000 Protected Persons in Canada who are already on a pathway to permanent residence and in alignment with their protected status under domestic and international law.”

This means IRCC will prioritize existing PR applications from recognized Protected Persons over the next two years — not new temporary or economic applicants. These are additional admissions, not part of the regular quota, so they won’t reduce spots for other categories.

In simple terms, it’s an official fast-track for those already waiting in the final stages of their PR processing. It recognizes that we’re not temporary residents but individuals with legal protection under Canadian and international law, and it aims to give us the permanent status we already qualify for much sooner.

So yes — this isn’t a rumor or speculation. It’s a confirmed measure in the federal budget, backed by IRCC and the Government of Canada.

• The most relevant section in the 2026‑2028 Immigration Levels Plan (Annex) on the 2025 Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration, which states: “the Government is implementing a one-time initiative over a two-year period to streamline the transition of approximately 115,000 Protected Persons in Canada…” 
• The ºBudget 2025 – Chapter 1: Building a stronger Canadian economy page, which repeats that the measure is included in the budget and describes the cost and time-frame. 
 
I thought about how they reached 115k. They're probably based on applications from June 2025 and before. Because when you look at the IRCC processing time tool for June 2025, the number of pending applications appears to be around 114,900.
Hmm, interesting. That's a bit discouraging actually, as it suggests that anyone who applied after June 2025 might not directly benefit from this...
if you were skilled you would obviously come through entry express as an example.

Yes - basically someone who is accepted as a refugee / protected person has come in to Canada as a last resort to find safety.
what’s wrong with that you seem mad unless you have no education and just want to be here by any means and get processed faster.

I personally feel the irony here. I came in via economic stream and as a skilled foreign worker but those eight years that people are complaining about here? That's roughly how long I had to wait to actually obtain PR.

I was sympathetic at first but members like this make me lose sympathy. Make me wonder, why should they get to have PR faster than I did?
chill boy
Let him cry

I didn't understand who you were replying to with this comment.
someone made new account we know who it is so leave all the haters they got burner today.

Actually, I'm in the dark here, if you could enlighten me. (It's probably because I'm too busy and as a result haven't been able to follow these forums closely enough.)

Funny enough, you are talking of Education. As at the time I finished my Masters,you should be in grade 6.
 
I mean, I wasn't the one who brought it up... just responding to the other member.


I confess I don't understand how someone who has a Masters would be unable to respond with logical arguments, but instead resorting to ad hominem fallacies.
Fallacies indeed!! When you and your team are always happy when you hear bad news about protected persons. What is logical in what you have been saying?
 
When you .. are always happy when you hear bad news about protected persons.
At this point it's pretty obvious that you are not even bothering to reading my posts. Such as this one earlier on this thread:
Basically I greatly underestimated the ability of the current admin to find a way to navigate this and find a solution in the current political climate. Mea culpa - but I'm also happy that they were able to do this.

You'd see if you, oh I don't know, actually read one of my posts?
When you and your team
