Pre-arrival letter is an administrative step and is sent at any point after eligibility. It isn’t related to the timeline of processing or other steps.
Hey, yes I got the Pre-arrival on Jul 3 and medical request on Jul 13.
i submitted another PGP application on same day 2nd Aug, its still pending at biometerics only.
We recieved final decision july 23 2026
And ircc sent email :
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada under the Parents and Grandparents program.
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You will receive instructions regarding your permanent residence landings shortly, however we would first like to clarify some of our landing procedures.
Is this means were gonna wait for portal 1 to be sent???

If you are Inland Applicant - Yes expect a P1
If you are outland Applicant - Expect a Passport request
Congratulations - You are almost done
Pre-arrival actually has nothing to do with processing being close to being finalized. It is purely procedural and comes any time after eligibility is passed. You still haven’t reached posted processing time and the backlog is quite significant. All you can do is wait but you are still incredibly lucky to have the chance to sponsor your parents even if it takes another year or two to process the application.
I have applied for my parents on July 21, 2024. Received the Biometric request & a couple of ADR as my father used to work in Military in early 2025 but nothing since after. Is it normal ? has someone else experiencing the same timeline ? I checked the online processing time calculator and it suggested that 14 more months are left which seems pretty crazy. Anyway just hoping to get some sense if this is normal timeline
Hello,
My father's medical passed on July 26, 2026.
If the application is approved, what is the next step.
My father is currently visiting us in Canada but the application is not an Inland application.
1. Do they usually send a passport request for all??
2. Since he is currently inland, can we notify IRCC for a P1 portal request??
Thanks

Has he passed all his background checks? If he has he will get in line for FD, then P1 and P2. There is a backlog and IRCC only accepts a certain amount of applications per month so it could still take a while. All you can do is just wait and monitor for any IRCC correspondence.
No - background check and eligibility are in progress. What is the current time line for getting FD after medical is passed??
