2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Amoor]

Hey people,
Just got my WP extension renewal decision (I know it is not related to this section, but still a good hope for 2023 PR applicants)

I applied on August 11, 2024, and just received an approval email. (They put an Eligibility review on it for whatever reason, which took so long to be approved.)

I called them many times and spoke with multiple MPs. Finally received approval yesterday, April 2, 2026. It was much more stressful than my in-process PR application, since I lost my job.


May this be a good sign for our PR applications as well
