2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Danii120]

Guys, why is it that almost all the July and August 2024 applicants who claim they got their PR are posting comments here and sharing timelines? I have been tracking the monthly inventory and processing numbers closely. IRCC issued only 200 decisions in February and 300 in March, and almost all of them were for 2022 applicants, except for a small number from January and February. So how did those people get their PR? Why are those cases not reflected in the inventory? The most likely answer is that these 2024 updates are fake. Someone seems to enjoy misleading others and hurting their feelings. IRCC appears to have paused because the 2025 quota has been reached. The new 2026 quota is expected to start in April, with around 5,000 PRs per month. If that happens, all 2023 applicants could receive their PR within about three months, since there are only around 20,000 of us. Please stay hopeful and do not let these people play with your feelings.

Wait, so, once they open up their new 2026 quota threshold which is only for about 5,000 PR’s applicants, and there about 20,000+ applicants from 2023 and 2024 - what happens to the rest of the ~ 15,000 applicants? Does there process move over to 2027, the next quota? Because for most of the 2024 applicants, it shows them 3 months as well in the ircc processing time.

They are fake. A bunch of MFs going online spreading fake data.

Bill C-12 has just become law! I hope IRCC was anticipating this and will resume processing the files.

I ordered the GCMS last year! on July 16th, and just received it today.
And they changed my secondary office from Calgary to Montreal. Why???? I have been living in Alberta since I came to Canada.
And the application status is cancelled?! WTF? And the reason is admin Error????
To this day, I still can't link my application online. Called IRCC and they said they don't have new info. My MP's office said my application will take 49 months??? Just don't know what to do? Why move my application to QC if I am physically never been to QC...

Don’t worry. The secondary office is not important. Its only responsibility is to issue the PR after it has been approved by the primary office. The secondary office is different from where we lived for all of us

Thank you... I feel better to hear that. They also just emailed me for missing documents where I provided long time ago.. I guess it is a good sign at least my application is not cancelled. The GCMS notes with secondary office in Montreal and my MP told me it's gonna take 49 months really freaks me out.

What your GCMS notes are telling you ?
What your MP’s office told you sounds like a generic processing time, not your actual case.You’re being treated as a Quebec applicant.
Protected Persons outside Quebec Standard processing: 12–16 months. Even with delays: usually 18–24 months, not 4+ years

I don't know this is GCMS updated on last year, but i recently got an email for missing documents, so suppose they are still processing. I ordered another GCMS notes today and wait to see the next one.

If that's the case, i would advise you to seek help from a immigration attorney
