It's been 45 days since I received pre arrival letter, when can I expect PPR?

[User3108]

I applied for a humanitarian public policy pathway and have completed all the necessary steps, including medical exams, biometrics, and submitting my background check from my home country.

I understand that the pre-arrival letter is a standard document sent upon completion of the eligibility review. However, I would like to know if there's an estimated timeframe for receiving the Passport Request (PPR). My background check is clear, and I have no security issues, so I'm hoping this might expedite the process. Any information on the typical waiting period would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Really tough to say when you may get PPR. The quota for H&C is very small and I’m not sure what has been allocated to your program and how many applicants are in a queue before you. Would suggest posting on this thread and looking back to see what others are experiencing when it comes to processing times

Thread 'Permanent Residence pathway for Colombian, Haitian and Venezuelan nationals'

Nov 21, 2023

Hi, I’m trying to apply for the new permanent resident pathway for Colombian, Haitian and Venezuelan program created some days ago, I'n filling the aplication in the Permanent residence application plataform but at the end it says you have to provide a proof of payment. I tried to look through all the options but it is not listed and none comes close to this program.

All I’m seeing are the regular grant of permanent resident which you have to pay 570CAD and I can’t send it unless I pay.

What should I put? Is there another option?
