    That's brutal. I'm sorry to hear that. Have you ordered the notes? Tried contacting your MP?

    and why is it that most 2023 applications are non routine? do you say that solely based on the amount of time it has taken to process them and hence they must be non routine?

    so per Sept. 3 update, if you submitted your application in Novemeber 2023, IRCC needs "more time to process" the application and can't provide an estimated time for completion.

    That's strange. I played with the estimator too and some dates do show up with that message. Honestly, I have no idea how some applicants from 2024/2025 ate processed already and many from 2023 are still waiting. While not the same, a friend of mine has been waiting for his citizenship for over...

Stress on Healthcare is also real and so is the costs associated with looking after the elderly. Life is full of trade offs. God...

    IRCC announced today that it is no longer accepting any PGPP applications until further notice. While it is frustrating that our applications seem to be taking forever, I consider myself lucky that my application is under process. I hope we all get our applications processed soon.

    This is so dumb. Interestingly, it says people applying today should be processed in 30 months which is less than the time it has already taken for us, not counting 7+ counting months that we still have to go. How stupid!
