    PRTD Appeal allowed, PRTD still under review?

    My PR card renewal from 2020 was approved back in 2021 with them notifying that they will email me to come in for an in person interview. However, I never received that email, and when I applied for a PRTD my application for a PRTD after that was refused, so I assume the PR Card renewal was...

    PRTD Appeal allowed, PRTD still under review?

    Update: As of today, there is still no update. It has been 2 months and three weeks since I received my positive Notice of Decision. My MP's last query has also been met with 'there is no update on file'. I had a few queries if anyone would be so kind as to answer? 1. I am wondering if it's...

    PRTD Appeal allowed, PRTD still under review?

    @dpenabill You are correct. I meant to say end January (30th) as that's when I received the Notice of Reasons and Decision via email. The date of decision is written as 27th of January. At the conclusion of the Appeal Hearing, the Minister's Representative stated they had no objection to the...

    PRTD Appeal allowed, PRTD still under review?

    Appreciate all the well-intentioned replies! It is suffocating existing in this limbo with no person in real life who actually knows about this stuff to some detail, and refreshing to converse with those familiar with the process. @canuck78 My PR card renewal was approved back in early 2021...

    PRTD Appeal allowed, PRTD still under review?

    Hello, I recently appealed my PRTD refusal from 2021 based on HNC and was successful in end January 2023. IRCC Abu Dhabi told me to sit tight and that they’ll process my old application once they receive notice from the IAD back in early February. Now upon inquiring through the MPs office, they...

    Abu Dhabi PRTD processing time

    @MN11 It does take around about that long for HnC Considerations.. What's scary is looking at their processing times for HnC Cases on the IRCC website which says 26 months! I'd suggest to buckle up and wait, and be ready for any decision.

    Abu Dhabi PRTD processing time

    @MN11 and @mshaef Did you have a regular PRTD request while clearly meeting Residency Obligation or did you apply under Humanitarian and Compassionate HnC grounds? Applying on HnC grounds can take much longer than a regular PRTD application from my understanding.

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    @dpenabill Thank you. I figured it would help someone in a similar situation out by describing the process. I know for sure I would trawl the forums endlessly trying to gain more knowledge. Would you happen to have any idea from your readings on how long it’s taking for people to finally land in...

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    Thank you Canuck. Yeah I’ve read a lot about the comprehensive requirements and how hard it is for IMGs in general and I am on track with meeting them. I need to have completed 12 months of postgraduate training, and need to go through the MCCQEs and the NAC. Those are the main requirements...

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    I applied for HnC renewal of my PR card in September 2020, and was informed that it was approved and that I would be contacted to come pick it up in person, but since I was already outside of Canada I couldn’t do that and was never contacted. I applied seperately for a PRTD from Pakistan in...

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    Update for all: The conclusion of my ADR was to go to a full hearing. I was really discouraged after that but and was contemplating not doing a full hearing but the Early Resolutions Officer (whose job it is to advise based on his experience of if an appeal could be successful or to just drop it...

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    Update: Have worked out a date this month for an Alternative Dispute Resolution for my PRTD Refusal Appeal, after I provided additional documentation. The Visa Officer's notes had glaring errors in them about my situation, and I hope proving those wrong are all that it takes to allow me to...

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    Yeap! That makes sense. I just thought (or hoped, rather) it would count for the year preceding me submitting my application (in June 2020) so would’ve been within one year if it were counted like that.

    Sorry for the late reply! Do message me directly on this forum and I can guide you with what I know best about applying based on HnC. Take note that I did get refused though.

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    @scylla, thank you for your insight! You are correct, I asked around and one of my friends also recently got a US Visa interview early because she just kept checking for interview dates, and a date opened up in April 2022 instead of the 2023 dates. I have since applied for a US Visa and actually...

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    It was a choice between finishing my professional schooling and keeping my PR. Tough but I do acknowledge that at the end of the day I did make that choice in coming back and not putting my education on freeze. Thank you for understanding my situation and for your input jakklondon. You are...

    Dpenabill, thank you so much for your highly informative and detailed response, and for your time taken in understanding my situation. I have gleaned substantial information from your reply.

    PR Approved despite failing RO based on HC grounds.. now stuck waiting for PRTD

    Also wanted to ask, would it help in any way to request information on my PRTD process using the Access to Information act? Would it delay the case? Or would it not be possible since it's being processed in IRCC Abu Dhabi
