It is a human right to see our family and build it up, it is not about politics or economy. This is injustice. We have been waiting for PR just to get our families, because we don't have the freedom of moving between the counties to meet up with our families. Most of the visas need PR earthier you get accepted or your spouse get refused for the visa! This cause a huge pain. We are human, 8 years of waiting! I dont mind the delay just let me get my wife in here, isnt of my right?? there is many concerns think deep about it...

Take the government to court. There is still the option to meet in a 3rd country although I instead it is not ideal. You may consider reunification for spouses and dependent children a human right but there is no law or specific time period during which this has to happen. Other countries already are limiting family reunification or require a specific income requirement to be met for family reunification. Canada has a fairly generous family reunification policy. The issue is that Canada also has to weigh it’s own interests, infrastructure constraints, etc. There is no easy solution.

“It is a human right to see our family”

Nope

My question for you .Are you a claimant or you are working for Ircc?Bcos I think the essence of this platform is to advise people on a right path not defend government policies.

Do you own the forum? If you want professional advice pay for a lawyer although I did provide good & accurate advice. Your option is to take the government to court which is what I suggested. Explaining immigration/gvt policy is important for anyone in the process. Doesn’t serve people well if I recommend starting a family reunification petition which has been ineffective time after time or lie and say that there is political will or general population support to increase the volume of temporary residents, asylum seekers or refugees. I have suggested many times that any earlier family reunification should be presented as beneficial to Canada for the best chances of success outside of potentially the courts. Things like proof of being financially self-sufficient, earlier family reunification vs immediate family reunification, etc. all some things that should be considered to increase chances of success. Immediate family reunification also creates a pull factor and Canada doesn’t want to incentivize more asylum claims. Canada’s policies remain some of the more generous ones especially as other countries change their policies when it comes to all forms of humanitarian programs. Canada had some insane immigration policies under the Trudeau gvt that lead to a huge increase in asylum claims and other forms of immigration. Nobody seemed to be thinking about the downstream effects of these policies which were very predictable. This also eroded public support/trust in the immigration system. To be clear reasonable ppl still feel that immigration is important for Canada but more measured immigration, actual vetting of applications and better fraud detection must happen. It will take 5-10 years and some significant reforms to try to course correct what has become a huge mess. This is also happening at a time where Canada is also dealing major economic and geopolitical issues. Certainly people will be hurt in the process including many who have no pathway to PR but that is just the reality and that doesn’t mean Canada is going to change their policies.

Of course not as a Canadian citizen with knowledge of immigration and gvt policy. It’s a public forum. The fact that many were surprised about the recent processing time updates just reinforces that many are not aware of what is going on with immigration and what they should be anticipating.

We all should combinely hire a big jewish lawyer and take IRCC govt. to the supreme court of Canada they made refugee claim a punishment uselessly delaying prs despite the fact that all background checks have already been done before hearing then there should be zero reason to delay on refugee pr. Refugee PR just like student PR why they are discriminating and using baisness.
All refugee just have to share 50 dollars and hire a big lawyer and we should get decision in our favor within year.

We Are All Shocked: PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons Have Reached 99 Months!

We need your attention — something deeply unfair is happening in Canada right now, and it affects thousands of vulnerable individuals and families.

Recently, IRCC updated the estimated processing time for permanent residence (PR) applications submitted by refugees and protected persons — and to our shock, it now shows up to 99 months. That’s over 8 years of waiting just to become a permanent resident.

But the pain doesn’t stop there.
➡️ Only 1 year of time spent in Canada before PR is counted towards citizenship eligibility.
➡️ You still need 2 more full years (to meet the 1095 days requirement) after receiving PR.
➡️ And even after applying for citizenship, the current processing time is 13 months.

That means, in total, it could take over 12 years for refugees and protected persons to become Canadian citizens — even after being accepted for protection.

This is not just a delay.
This is a denial of dignity, of stability, of hope.


⏳ What does this really mean?

  • Over a decade of living in limbo.
  • Endless stress, uncertainty, and fear of separation.
  • Inability to fully settle, reunite with family, or travel freely.
  • Continued mental and emotional exhaustion.
We are all shocked and deeply hurt by this situation — and we believe it is unjust, inhumane, and unacceptable.


That’s why we are coming together.
We call on everyone affected, and every Canadian who cares, to help us raise awareness and demand change.

We have created a FB page where

Nous sommes tous choqués : les délais pour la RP atteignent 99 mois pour les réfugiés et personnes protégées !

Une injustice profonde se déroule actuellement au Canada, touchant des milliers de personnes vulnérables.
Selon les dernières données de l’IRCC, le traitement des demandes de résidence permanente pour les réfugiés et personnes protégées peut maintenant prendre jusqu’à 99 mois — soit plus de 8 ans d’attente pour simplement obtenir la RP.

Mais ce n’est pas tout.
➡️ Seule 1 année passée au Canada avant d’obtenir la RP est comptabilisée pour la citoyenneté.
➡️ Il faut ensuite 2 années supplémentaires pour atteindre les 1095 jours requis.
➡️ Et une fois la demande de citoyenneté déposée, le délai de traitement est actuellement de 13 mois.

❗️Cela signifie que devenir citoyen canadien peut prendre plus de 12 ans pour une personne réfugiée, même après avoir obtenu la protection.

Ce n’est plus un simple retard — c’est une privatisation prolongée de la dignité et de la stabilité.


⏳ Concrètement, cela signifie :

  • Plus d’une décennie à vivre dans l’incertitude.
  • Des années d’angoisse, d’épuisement et de solitude.
  • L’impossibilité de reconstruire sa vie ou de retrouver sa famille.
  • Une souffrance psychologique et administrative continue.
Nous sommes tous choqués et profondément touchés par cette réalité.
Nous croyons qu’il est temps de dire stop.

What I found that there is no option available on the IRCC portal to check the Permanent Residence (PR) processing timeline for Protected Persons in Canada. The option referred to on the IRCC “Check our processing time” tool applies to Refugee cases under the Protected Persons or Convention Refugees category, which means it reflects timelines for asylum claims, not PR applications made by in-Canada Protected Persons. The PR processing timeline for Protected Persons in Canada is announced only in the Annual IRCC Transparency Report. The only way to track individual progress is through one’s personal IRCC account, where applicants can view updates specific to their own case. The “Check our processing time” tool does not provide a separate or accurate timeline for in-Canada Protected Person PR applications; it only lists various refugee-related programs under the Refugees category.
There is another tool available on the IRCC portal that is sometimes referred to for this category, but it has never provided any information and instead always displays the message:
“We are not able to identify you based on the information you provided.”
If anyone gets any new updates on this, please share. Thanks

This is the processing time for PR application from protected persons. 137K people waiting are accepted refugees. Pending asylum claims are 296K and there is no processing time for asylum claims as they are under IRB, not IRCC.
