2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[saksham36]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some insight regarding my PR application timeline because I haven't received Portal 1 yet.

We are an inland PR application (principal applicant + spouse).

Here is our timeline based on the latest GCMS/ATIP notes:

Principal Applicant (me):

• Eligibility passed: September 2024
• Criminality passed
• Medical passed
• Security passed: June 2, 2026
• Final decision (Approved): June 18, 2026
• COPR document was created on June 18, 2026, but its status is still showing "Not Started."
• I have not received Portal 1.

Spouse:

• Eligibility passed: September 2024
• Criminality and other assessments completed.
• Security screening was initiated on June 17, 2026, and the latest GCMS notes show Security: In Progress.
• No final decision has been recorded yet.

Based on these notes, it looks like my application was approved while my spouse's security screening had just started. My assumption is that IRCC may be waiting for my spouse's security to be completed before sending the PR Portal invitation for both of us.

Has anyone had a similar situation where:

• the principal applicant was already approved,
• the dependent's security started afterward,
• and Portal 1 wasn't sent until the dependent's security was completed?

If you experienced this, how long did you wait after the dependent's security went "In Progress" before receiving Portal 1?

For additional context, I recently submitted a webform to IRCC, but I only received the standard response saying that the application is still being processed.

Any similar experiences or timelines would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

i think u will get portal 1 when your spouse will receive final decision
btw in how many days you received gcms/atip notes ?

Hello, I'm from October 2023 since June 2024 I haven't had any news, that was when I received the eligibility and the pre-arrip I have a representative and every time we call our representative he tells us that he doesn't know what to wait. What can I do?
Thanks

I applied April 2023 as a protected Person inside Canada.
I didn't use a lawyer. I applied online.
I got my Status confirmation email July 7th, 2026.
I replied and now awaiting the second email, Praise God.
It has been a long wait, so long that my daughter turned 18 and decided to go back to our home country in April 2026.
Because she left, I had to write a letter explaining why she left and request that she be remove from my application in May 2026. IRCC responded quickly and asked me to fill out the application again without her and the family declaration form too June 2026.
