2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[appwarez]

Sorry, I don’t know when my Fd was approved, because I wasn’t able to link my aplication to my GCKey; everything was handled through a representative.

You can ask your representative to confirm the date your final decision was approved or check your application notes for more details. Congratulations on reaching this stage, and hopefully you’ll receive your eCOPR soon

I applied June 2023, Criminality In Progress & Security not started. I do not have the dates as i got Lawyer. but i keep calling. there is no end to this. I am becoming depressed & mental. My wife & child says i have become Negative person & even talking with me makes them upset. the way i see everything is just heart breaking. i have ruined my life, i have lost my personality, my confidence, my social & financial capability all because of this endless waiting without any clue. I am sorry I do not want to pull others down by saying all this. but this is the truth.

Hi everyone,
I’ve finally decided to pursue a mandamus application because I honestly feel like I have no other options left. I submitted my PR application as a Protected Person in March 2023, and I’ve been waiting for approximately 43–44 months. I’ve also been stuck in comprehensive security screening for about 19 months.
My eligibility and criminality checks have been completed, but my security screening is still ongoing. I’ve contacted IRCC and my MP’s office multiple times, but unfortunately, I still haven’t received a decision.
This long wait has seriously affected my life and my ability to plan for the future. I feel that I need to take legal action rather than continue waiting indefinitely.
Before moving forward, I would really appreciate your advice?????

I believe the only option for you now is filing the Mandamus. I know someone who filed Mandamus back in 2025 and got her fd 5 months after submitting to thr court. The most important thing for you is a really experience lawyer. Don’t go for cheap ones imo

I totally understand you..
Actually, 2023 people are so unlucky in here.
All of us handle mental and financial problems with this much delay
And when I check 2025, people from the same country, same application got P1 after 1 year and a half fell There’s no fairness at all

But please be careful about yourself and family, all these things are because of a better life.
You will get it.

Totally Agreed, There are processing 2025 applications so quick as compared to 2023 and 2024 and even after FD there landing processing is so quick. That's not fair of previous applications.

Exactly the one-time initiative seems to be working for applicants that applied in 2025 and on. I am January of 2024 and after 35 months of waiting the main applicant’s security hasn't even started and mine is in progress for 6 months. This isn't fair. We must file for mandamus because at this point the delay for 2023 and 2024 applicants isn't justifiable.

You're not pulling anyone down. We all feel the same way. I once loved this country but now I feel like this country is taking away my spark and joy. I haven't met my family in 7 years and I wonder if we will ever be the same again after all of this is over. This year’s quota seems to be at its max capacity. Let's be hopeful for next year and the good news to come.

That initiative would be for 2023 and 2024 but it does not make sense, How they are processing 2025 application while people from previous years and still waiting...

Sorry to hear that. I’m an August 2023 applicant, and I’ve been in your shoes for 38 months. I lost my job, lost a chance for promotion, was rejected for a mortgage and am far from my parents, etc. It’s frustrating, and they don’t provide clear information to us. Everyone is completely in the dark
