FINALLY. Just got my PPR now at 12.05 pm
Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here
- Thread starter YoYo81
- Start date
Got pre arrival twice. One in February 2026 after Biometrics and the second in April 2026 after DNA. Both were received before medicals which were only given in October 2026.
Hopefully, IRCC will start moving forward with overseas dependants’ applications soon. Please keep us updated if you receive any news.
Hopefully, your PPR will arrive soon. Since your medical was updated on October 22 and Decision Made appeared on October 25, I hope the next step comes quickly. Please keep us updated when you receive your PPR. Wishing you a happy reunion with your spouse soon!
In most cases, the pre-arrival services letter is issued after eligibility has been passed. However, the timing of medical, biometrics, and pre-arrival updates can vary depending on the application but background verification, including security screening, may still be in processing.

Congratulations on receiving your eCOPR!, The biometrics and medical requests will generally come through the relevant visa office in your country. Unfortunately, IRCC does not provide a separate, reliable processing timeline specifically for overseas dependants of Protected Persons, so it’s difficult to predict how long their applications will take. Hopefully, we’ll see some progress soon.
Congratulations! Finally, after such a long and difficult journey, you’ve received your PPR! I can imagine how emotional and relieving this moment must be after waiting since 2021. Wishing you a smooth final process and a happy reunion with your spouse soon!

did your overseas adult dependent received Biometric request?
IRCC has my spouse's Biometric from 2023 TRV application, will they ask for another Biometric?
PR biometrics is different from tourist visa biometrics. My dependent has been waiting since 2024 but they received their biometrics and medical request May of 2026. Since your PR process took a bit shorter than majority of us 2024 and 2023 applicants you should still expect your dependents to be a little further back in the queue and might still take up to 40 months for their application to be processed. The one time initiative doesn't include overseas dependents and unfortunately there are a lot of people waiting in line. I hope your application is processed as soon as possible.
Yes, IRCC will ask another biometrics for PR. May I know which country your spouse is living?
I know that PR and TRV biometrics are different, so I thought they would use my old TRV biometrics for the one-way travel visa, and then retake my biometrics at the airport for PR. One of my friends provided their biometrics in their home country and still had to do it again at the airport.
They confirm your fingerprints at the airport, is a common practice in many airports and countries. I think is just verifying that you are who you said you are.
Its the other way around. When I was reapplying for my Canadian visitors visa, I didnt have do redo biometrics. The biometrics that was used, was one given for my PR application 2.5yrs ago, which was now for my TRV visa
