    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    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...

    If you go to ircc website and look for processing times, it will ask you some questions and based on when you applied , it will show approximate time remaining. It updates every month, usually around the 10th. Also, I have never been able to see my application online at ircc online status check...

    True. Being an immigrant is not easy but then nothing worth doing is easy in life. You're right, anyone who got a chance to sponsor their parents is incredibly lucky. 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!

    does anyone have the link for the 2023 PGPP tracker? I am sure someone must have created a tracker somewhere. It is usually in a thread somewhere. I would like to see how many of us are still waiting for a decision. Thank you.

    reminds me of a quote, " if you are going to overthink, then overthink the positives". to answer your question, as you may now, with any immigration file or most things in life in general, nothing really is done unless it is done. that said, unless there are serious concerns noted in enhanced...

    I think it has to do with enhanced security checks. My file was progressing rather smoothly until nov 2024 when enhanced security began and the rest is history.
