Here's a recommendation on how to manage stress level when waiting for PPR, especially FSW streamers.I dont think checking for updates daily is bad.
If there was a definitive timeline and the procedures were more transparent, I think everyone will be less anxious.
However, checking in this forum frequently and reading people with extremely long waits has really increased my anxiety for sure.
I started picking up more books to read in my free time (Stoicism, Lao Tzu, etc) to distract myself outside of work.
Hopefully we can all get within the 6 month timelineI really wanna know if they hit their quota for immigrants from other areas (family sponsorship stream etc) this year and try to reduce the approvals for economic migrants like us this year -_-
In the first and second months, don't even think about PPR. Only be concerned with MEP and BIL. In the third month, you'd be extremely lucky to get it, so don't fret. In the fourth month, your chances are beginning to surface. You may begin to call IRCC and order GCMS notes. In the fifth month, there's a chance it'll come but be calm still. In the sixth month, you can begin to really expect it. Even beyond six months is not 'abnormal' and nothing is necessarily wrong with your application. While waiting, get preoccupied with work and hobbies. Best wishes to us all.
