2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Flowercita]

I know , it is like inconsistent.
Make the process like rubber. Elastic, stretch.

O

Repeated steps.. During the refugee claim process, these steps are already there: security screening, medical exam and biometrics.

I hope that IRCC, as part of their efforts to clear the protected persons backlog, will consider removing these repeated steps..

The security screening during the refugee claim is lengthy and extensive. Since a protected person has already passed this, the security screening for PR purposes should - logically - be geared only inside Canada and should ideally not take more than 1-2 weeks..
For biometrics, this can be completely skipped since the biometrics are already there.
For medical, it is still required, especially that for the majority of refugee claims, it takes +18 months, and there could be some health developments...

There is a big room for streamlining the process, all in line with the objective of IRCC to clear the protected person backlog...

What you're saying is understandable, but there's a logical flaw here. Under normal circumstances, an application should be evaluated according to the conditions at the time of application. So, if the application was submitted in 2023, you should evaluate it according to the situation at that time. Operational delays shouldn't result in consequences that could be detrimental to the applicant.

What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't make sense to do a security screening in 2026 for an application made in 2023. If someone who made an asylum claim in 2022 passes the security screening in 2022, then their PR application made in 2023 should also pass the security screening stage quickly.

New GCMS note received now, security still shows not started, April 24th 2023 application Ontario,if you are April applicant and your note says security not started there is a good chance that you will be left behind from the regular file processing timetable , it's very frustrating but as I said before some countries get comprehensive security because of the place they were born,32 months now and no end in sight

I hear you, unfortunately there is nothing we can do, it's just a waiting game. Have you tried to get CBSA notes? I've heard you can get more info regarding the security progress there.we still got 7 months on the process time sheet in ircc new processing time website too so we can't even talk to our MP, life's not fair, I learned it the hard way but it is what it is, at least we were fortune enough that Canada sheltered us from danger. Millions of people are dreaming of having this protection in so many dangerous places all around the world.iam very much thankful to great people of Canada and Canada but days of life passing, so many lost opportunities just for one plastic card and the limbo most of us are in, it's really mentally damaging.

Yes my friend, it's normal unfortunately,no one knows how long it will take for those 2 steps to get passed but you will hear good news soon hopefully. Hang in there, it's coming.

You've to choose foreign national as we are not yet permanent resident. You become permanent resident the moment you receive your EOCPR after P2.

They are torturing us for no reason! We have been waiting for almost 3 years for something that they used to issue in less than 18 months. This is insane.
