    Some Interesting Statistics - IRB

    Failed applications will definitely file appeals, and if again failed, logically will try H&C, spousal sponsorships or any other possible program.. As per the above statistics from IRB, there are around 70,000 applications either rejected, abandoned, withdrawn or other (IRB's classification).

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

    It is not easy to see applicants of your same-time get it while you still have to wait for long months to come to get it.. and as you put it.. to finally get the PR when those would be ready to apply for citizenship. In worst case scenario, you will become PR in 27 months, however, there is a...

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

    Thank you for the new information.. Indeed, I have checked the updated estimated processing time earlier today.. With simple math, and based on the updated estimated processing time, it is possible to say that IRCC could be planning to process up to 6,000 PR applications for protected persons...

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

    This is what we were told at the meeting.. This is what we are actually seeing.. No major 'mass' progress is made so far from December 2025 until now.. Logically, this means that IRCC is still making the necessary arrangements.. logistics, preparations.. for this Big, Beautiful initiative...

    In need of support with TD application for a permanent resident

    1. Yes, as far as I know, same as before PR, and even you'll need a guarantor for the first time you get a Canadian passport after you become a citizen. 2. Yes, as far as I know, same address. (I think you should mention that your 1st RTD expired), but check if this is necessary.. 3. I don't...

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

    Dear @Galactus I have shared all the information that I have. Definitely if I come across anything I will post in in this forum. The Federal government's annual quota for PR for protected persons was around 15-18 thousands.. This is why IRCC's estimated processing times, back in October...

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

    Hello @Galactus I don't want to disappoint you. Frankly, what was said in the meeting was that Quebec had not agreed to be part of this one-time initiative. However, discussions are still ongoing between the federal government and Quebec. Maybe it is that Quebec wants to secure additional...

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

    Totally agree with you dear @canuck78 This is what the Immigration Minister said in the discussions in the House of Commons.. that these protected persons are already in Canada, established, and they are protected by the Canadian government. This initiative is not about bringing people from...

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

    There are processes which are redundant, biometrics, medical exam, security screening, hopefully IRCC will find a way to expedite these while ensuring that all protected persons are vetted, screened and cleared..

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

    And most probably we will never see any official details.. Immigration Minister stated that IRCC have the necessary resources to do this, without taking resources from other departments.. They can do this by streamlining the process, bringing more efficiency, maybe (hopefully) removing some...

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

    This initiative is meant for In-Canada protected persons who applied for PR. As for dependents who are outside Canada, apparently they are not part of this initiative. However, when I check IRCC's estimated processing times for dependents outside Canada, it shows as 26 months, while before...

    Refugee claimants to co-pay health care costs

    The reason is "to help make this program more sustainable." It makes sense in light of the rapidly rising (or doubling) expenses: I read this CTV News article: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/article/ottawa-will-soon-require-asylum-seekers-and-refugees-to-co-pay-for-health-care/ In the...
