2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[AAD1234]

Applied with following timeline( me + spouse and dependents inside Canada):

• Applied for PR : June 26, 2023
• Pre Arrival : December 21 , 2024
• Eligibility letter : December 17, 2024
• Medical : Completed (expired)
• Info Sharing : Not Yet Started
• Criminality : in progress
• Biometric : Not requested
• Security : Not Yet Started

It is really frustrating and I’m really stressed out.

I feel confused guys. I applied on June 2023 and biometric not requested. I just received biometric request for me and my spouse today. This is my timeline now:

inside Canada (Ontario) applicant with spouse and children. Primary office Mississauga and secondary office Montreal.

• Applied for PR : June 26, 2023
• Pre Arrival : December 21 , 2024
• Eligibility letter : December 17, 2024
• Medical : Completed (expired)
• Info Sharing : Not Yet Started
• Criminality : in progress
• Biometric : requested on 6th July 2026
• Security : Not Yet Started

Is there any justification why I’m receiving this now? Is this means that I have to wait for long time?

Appreciate your feedback!

I had the same situation as you . For long time my criminality was in progress and after me and dependent did biometric in May 2026 criminality changed to completed and background changed from not applicable to process . the only item that remain is security . I applied April 2023 and no final decision yet .

Don't worry, One of my friends was like you, they said because of quality of first fingerprint they need better quality to process. that is why your criminality still is in progress. Just they need more clear and better fingerprints. after that your file will move.
