I saw a post where the girl applied for protected person pr around March 2026 and got her ecopr oct 19. That’s good one.

If IRCC were processing everyone’s applications that quickly, we would all be happy! Hopefully, processing times will improve for everyone waiting.

Carefully follow the instructions in your P1 email. Overseas dependants generally do not use the PR Confirmation Portal for P1, P2, or eCoPR. Their applications are usually processed through the responsible visa office. Once approved, they may receive a passport request (PPR) for visa issuance and their COPR.

Ya. Seems this tool is not for protected person PR category.

I believe the Client Application Status (CAS) tool may be available for other PR categories, but it does not appear to work for Protected Persons PR applications. Can anyone with a Protected Person PR application confirm whether they can access CAS?,

Guys, i got approved for my refugee with my family after 3 years from waiting then I submitted my PR application in January 2026 and completed my biometrics in September 2026. I’ve now received an unusual request: they are asking for all the phone numbers I used before coming to Canada, all my previous social media accounts, and copies of all the passports—both mine and my family’s—that we have held in the past. Are these standard requests? Has anyone else been asked for this?

Realistically, and based on my experience as a 2026 applicant, I applied on January 15 and it took about 2.5 months to receive a temporary XG number.
Based on the discussions from 2025 applicants thread , most people are reporting around 7–8 months to receive the AOR.

Hopefully your application will move to the completeness check stage soon and you’ll receive your AOR. If you still haven’t received your AOR after a couple more weeks, you could consider submitting an IRCC web form to ask for an update on your application.
