    Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

    That VO tends to have longer processing times. As someone has already pointed out there is no timeline between Prearrival and PPR it really depends on the backlog at that VO and the approval quota for that month or quarter (not sure how the quota is allocated). All you can do is wait your turn...

    Based on new rules you can try and apply based on your 2024 income. Why you claimed asylum and the chances of your parents claiming asylum will be an huge factor in whether they get approved.

    You don’t meet LICO for your family size so they wouldn’t qualify for supervisa. What was your family income in 2024? The chances of your parents getting PR are extremely low and you should not be counting on it. This should also be a discussion with your siblings who remain in Pakistan...

    Prearrival letter has a very misleading name that confuses people and comes at any time after eligibility has been passed. It does not indicate when you are close to FD and COPR.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2025

    The quota went down dramatically after it exploded in the last 5 years of the Trudeau gvt. You can’t compare to previous years when there have been significant changes.

    2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

Nobody knows at what pace they will hand out PRs (not just P1s) and they will hit 130k at some point and processing will slow down. I’m also curious to see what happens when the data...

    The file review process without a hearing is on pause so believe after it was discovered that asylum claims were being approved without hearings. Tough to say what will happen to the program.
