    Can any of my family from a country i did not file refugee from visit me in Canada ?

    There is nothing inherently wrong with a protected person having relatives visit Canada. IRCC expressly recognizes that family members can visit someone in Canada temporarily if they satisfy the temporary-resident requirements with IRCC.

    Ur application is now more than 3 years old. IRCC says that if an application is beyond the normal processing time, you can contact IRCC through the web form to ask about it.

    2026 P1 - P2 to Ecopr Protected Person

    I received my eCOPR only about 3 days after P2, which was very fast. However, my experience doesn’t necessarily predict another applicant’s timeline, as eCOPR issuance can depend on the IRCC office, workload, and individual circumstances. At this point, contacting IRCC through the webform would...

    My overseas spouse/dependent PR application and spouse gave biometrics on June 3, 2026, then as of August 21, 2026, it has been about 11 weeks (79 days). I did not hear nothing from Visa office. I presume Security may take longer and can happen without any communication.

    I would consider sending an IRCC webform specifically asking whether the PR Portal invitation is pending. Final Decision does not mean P1 must arrive immediately. The portal confirmation is a separate administrative step.

    1. Refugee Claim Suspended and Charges Were Withdrawn noting happened since then

    Has the criminal matter that caused the suspension been cleared from the file, and has notice been issued to resume processing of the refugee claim? A suspension is different from a refusal. GCMS/CBSA written status could help determine whether the file is actually waiting for an officer's action.

    Return of passports that were seized during our refugee claim process (Vancouver office)

    Under immigration law, voluntarily seeking or using a national passport can trigger a cessation (loss) proceeding of refugee status, because it signals to authorities that the person no longer fears their home country or is willing to rely on its diplomatic documents. "Our strong advice is to...

    PR application under Protected Person Class in Canada 2024-2025

    Many 2024 Protected Person applicants are now receiving PR much faster, particularly since IRCC started the special 2026–2027 initiative. IRCC says it intends to grant PR to 46,000 protected persons and their in-Canada dependants in 2026...

    Yes. you could wait a few more business days. “In review by IRCC” doesn’t necessarily mean the PR card hasn’t started processing. You should give it several business days to a couple of weeks after P2 before escalating.

    CBSA Security Screening Processing Time

    I wouldn't assume it will take 2 years either. Some cases are completed much sooner, while complex files can take considerably longer. Hopefully yours moves forward well before that.

    Yes, this situation can happen. The principal applicant received eCOPRb does not necessarily mean an inland dependant will receive theirs at the same time. IRCC says that after P2/confirmation, uploading the eCOPR can take up to a few weeks...

    CBSA Security Screening Processing Time

    U should not rush into Mandamus immediately, but also wouldn't simply wait indefinitely. The four-year separation and the fact that your wife is already a PR are certainly relevant circumstances, but the key issue is whether the remaining delay is legally unreasonable. The best approach would be...

    Return of passports that were seized during our refugee claim process (Vancouver office)

    I I would not advise to request the seized passport, obtain a Kuwait visa on it, and travel without first getting written advice from an immigration lawyer. Even if people in the community have done it successfully, that doesn't establish that it is legally risk-free.

    For a protected-person application in Quebec, the fact that your dependants were not named in the IRCC instruction letter is important, but it does not automatically mean they are excluded from PR. U would not submit another CSQ application blindly or assume the dependants are excludedSince...
