2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[ruslan2025]

IRCC makes decisions on Protected Person PR applications within the limits of Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan, which is set each year and tabled in Parliament. For 2025, the government capped the number of Protected Persons in Canada (and their dependents abroad) at 20,000 admissions. This means that even if thousands of applications are already fully processed and marked “ready for final decision,” officers cannot finalize them all at once — they must pace approvals so the total number of landed protected persons does not exceed the yearly quota. Inside IRCC’s system, cases are often grouped and processed in batches rather than one-by-one each day. When assessments (eligibility, medical, security, background) are complete, the file goes into a “ready for decision” queue. Officers then review these case groups, but the final sign-off is timed against available quota space. This explains why many applicants see no progress for months even though all checks are done — their file is essentially waiting for a landing spot to open under the 20,000 cap. Once quota space is available, officers can quickly flip those “ready” files to Decision Made (DM) and issue the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) in a short batch.

He will not stop because he is seeking our attention. If we ignore him, he will eventually stop. Such a person does not deserve our attention.

Im talking about how to link it

Hi! How did you solve your linking problem?

Hi! How did you solve your linking problem?

Sometimes the problem is this:

-Write 1 in the number of applicants, it doesnt matter if you included family, husband/wife or children. Always write one.
-If now you have RTD write that in passport number, I mean the RTD number. Not your home country number.
-Sometimes they dont write your city of origin, sometimes is the province, try that.

Good luck!
