PSR /SAH Approval
- Thread starter Wait2022
- Start date
Several members here reported transfers this year. If you search the forum you’ll find their posts.
Hello everyone,
I am looking to connect with others who have applied through the PSR program via SAH to compare timelines and experiences.
My details:
I also noticed that when I attempt to check my application status on the IRCC portal, it returns the message: 'We were not able to identify you using the information you provided.' I am not sure if this is a technical issue or something specific to my application type.
My questions:
-For those with SAH-PSR applications — what was your timeline between sponsorship approval and your first contact from IRCC (biometrics/medical)?
-Has anyone else experienced the 'unable to identify you' message on the portal? Were you able to resolve it?
Any experiences or insights are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There is variability between offices but wait times for private sponsorship takes many years due to backlogs and as quotas have decreased wait times may actually be increasing. Except for some exceptional cases this is a very long process. Depending on people’s profiles they may have better options like an economic pathway if they know or learn French.
its been 20 months since approval and biometrics, also i cant check my status it doesn't work for recent applications, seems like it
IRCC reported a historical average processing time of approximately 42 months for privately sponsored refugee applications, based on applications processed in the preceding six months. This is not a guaranteed timeline for an individual case.
Dependent spouse lost her passport, what should I do?
Hi everyone,
Our application approval was in April 2025, but we have not received any updates or communication since then.(PSR, SAH)
Recently, my wife (who is a dependent on my application) lost her passport. She is currently working on getting a replacement.
Given that we have been waiting for over a year since approval, I am unsure of the best way to handle this. Should I proactively submit an IRCC Webform right now to report the lost passport, or should I wait until they contact us for the next steps or a passport request?
If you have been through this, how did it affect your timeline, and what steps did you take? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I would recommend submitting an IRCC webform as soon as possible to inform them that your dependent spouse's passport has been lost.
Since your application was approved in April 2025 and you have not received any further communication, I wouldn't wait until IRCC contacts you.
My suggestions:
- Report the lost passport and explain that your wife is applying for a replacement.
- Once the new passport is issued, submit a copy through the IRCC webform.
- Include your application number, UCI and your wife's details.
- Keep the police report or official lost-passport confirmation, if available.
- Ask IRCC whether any further action is required from your side.
- Don't send the replacement passport for visa stamping or make travel arrangements until IRCC provides instructions.
if there have been any updates to your SAH-PSR application since your last post in April 2025. Have you received any communication from the New Delhi visa office regarding biometrics, medical examinations or further processing? It would be helpful for others waiting under the SAH-PSR program to know if there has been any movement recently. Thanks for sharing!
