After a recent update, my eCAS now shows “Decision Made”, and a new correspondence entry appeared dated September 2, 2026. Has anyone experienced the same Decision Made + “We sent you correspondence” combination? If so, how long did it take to receive PPR, and what was the correspondence?
We received nothing in mail though i checked every folder

Hi,
We are currently waiting on our application. We are 2022 applicants , How do you actually know when your background and security checks are officially passed?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

You can check through ECAS? I try for my dependants, never possible to do it

@saksham36 not sure how you can say 3-4 months. First the medicals need to be requested, need to completed and may need to be reviewed by IRCC staff which can take 1-2 months, further testing may be requested like TB testing for example, etc. The. backlog of dependents applying to come to Canada is also increasing so that will slowly increase processing time. At this point there are too many unknowns to give such a precise estimate of processing time. If it takes 3-4 months that is great but should be prepare that it may take longer.

You can ask about your dependent’s status from your area’s mp and also by applying for gcms notes and the fastest way to know about there application is to call ircc directly and ask about your dependents

No info

Then the important point is that P1 for the principal applicant does not necessarily mean the dependants' PPR will arrive immediately. IRCC can finalize the principal applicant first while the overseas dependants' medical/security processing continues. My rough expectation: if there are no additional issues, the PPR/medical request could come within days to several weeks after P1, but there is no guaranteed timeline. Some overseas dependants can take longer even after the principal applicant receives P1.

@Freivy there is no need to contact your MP unless there is a problem. They will get the access to the same information you can obtain yourself. The big issue is that mat are stuck in the local IRCC waiting for their turn to land. That information and wait times do not show up in IRCC information.
