    Spouse (outside) PR application including IMM 0008, IMM 5669, IMM 5406

    Hello Everyone, I hope that you are doing great... I have few questions about filling the forms for my wife and children. I am a protected person who applied for PR. My wife and children are outside Canada. My wife received an email last month with a checklist. In the checklist, she has to...

    Moving to Another Province for Work

    Dear sister @Flowercita: Mark ignore and go on.. It is not worth it to waste your valuable time trying to educate 'mature' people here on how to try to be polite with others. They definitely can, but instead, they deliberately try to demotivate or even dehumanize us "the refugees". I...

    Thank you for the post. My spouse received the letter with a G number shortly after I received the AOR. She was requested to provide these documents (civil status, marriage certificate, etc., too. She signed the Use of Representative form IMM 5476e, and I sent the documents on her behalf...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Ask Google Sir! I asked Google for you, below is the answer: While Canada officially states that security screening is universal and based on individual risk factors rather than nationality alone, data and expert reports indicate that applicants from certain countries are significantly more...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Well.. I definitely understand your frustration and I can relate to your situation. This is maybe the 'curse' of being born with an x citizenship. You didn't choose it. You didn't do anything wrong. YET, it is having its toll on you no matter what. Because you are originally from this x...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Hi @ossri Allow me to jump in here to try to answer your question. I understand your question. However, I don't think that the PR application process is genuinely related to the refugee claim process. IRB can process a refugee claim through the File Review (Less Complex) process, as in...

    2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

    Hi. You need to enter the same information that you entered in your PR application. For me, because I moved from one city to another in ON, I forgot which city that I put in the PR application. This caused several failed attempts. Then, I tried to put the actual family members (including myself)...

    Hello all... Good news for me! Finally, today I received the AOR, almost 8 months after I submitted my PR application (August 2025).. I tried, and was able - after several attempts - to link my PR application to my GCKey!

    2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

    Reading through this thread, apparently all of us who applied June 2025 to end of 2025 only received the XG email, no AOR for any applicant June-December 2025. As per IRCC's estimated processing times, there are 69,700 applicants ahead of June 2025 applications. I'm just thinking loud here...

    The one-time 2-year initiative regarding 115,000 protected persons

    Yes, you are definitely right. Thank you for the link. I thought initially that since the budget was approved in Nov 2025 that no further steps were necessary. I was wrong. Yes, the budget is still to come into effect as law and the initiative will - hopefully - start to be implemented in Q2...

    The one-time 2-year initiative regarding 115,000 protected persons

    The budget for this initiative was approved back in November 2025. I think that you are referring to Bill C-12 which is almost there.. just cleared by the Senate Committee and now pending the final stage: royal assent. Bill C-12 will provide sweeping executive powers over Canada's...

    The one-time 2-year initiative regarding 115,000 protected persons

    Hello Community.. Until now we have not started to see PR applications for protected persons getting processed quickly in masses to reflect the IRCC's estimated processing times indicating processing of up to 6,000 a month. It could be that IRCC are still getting things in place to start...

    Refugee claimant inquiry

    Yeah.. I had retained an immigration consultant (not through legal aid) and yet I had a bad experience. I removed him and continued alone. I have heard so many stories of this bad experience with immigration consultants and even lawyers. I tell everyone, in light of my experience, that this...

    Refugee claimant inquiry

    Not really, if you prepared your basis of claim and you have your evidence, you can do it yourself. The form is available online, simply download it, fill it, attach the evidence and submit it to IRB. It is better of course to wait until IRB identifies your case as being eligible for file...

    Refugee claimant inquiry

    I couldn't agree more! Yes, there are 'lucky' claimants who may receive their NOD within 7-8 months. This is NOT the standard processing time which, as indicated by @canuck78, could take +2 or even +3 years, considering the 300,000 backlog!! Some quick math facts: In 2025, IRB...

    Refugee claimant inquiry

    Dear @amam2024 Yes! You can definitely submit a request to IRB for your refugee application to be considered and processed under the File Review Process (Less Complex) without a hearing. This is officially published on IRB's website. This is a link from IRB's website about this process...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Hello 2023 applicants.. Take it easy guys!! 'The rule is there is no rule.' This is the golden rule when dealing with IRCC in general. As a refugee, you could receive NOD within 7-8 months, but it is also normal to take +2 years, and nowadays even +3 to get a hearing. The same thing with...
