A while back I found & posted a table reviewing 2021 performance in one of IRCC’s reports showing a ‘Service Standard’ target of 6 months for TR2PR but nowhere else have I seen a policy, guideline, notice or anything backing that up since then. I suspect (only a guess) it was an early target for 2021 but they had to abandon the idea.
IRCC can ‘meet’ 80% processed service targets by trying to process 80% & then switching to other backlogged lines to keep them balanced at or near 80%, while the remaining 20% are somewhat invisible & languish until an automated ‘due date’ puts them back in play, whether or not the applicants file is ‘complicated,’ which is supposed to be the logic for a file going past the Service Standard, not lack of processing resources.
On a more positive note, from IRCC’s website:
“Work is currently underway to identify admission and final decisions targets for 2023. These targets will need to be strategically set to address the inventory backlogs that will remain at the end of 2022.
* Special focus should be given to PNP, TR2PR and Refugee Resettlement.”
This was reported in July 2022 in preparation for setting new TR to PR Targets (plus a High & Low range) in the forecast update they provided Nov 1, 2022, for 2023 & 2024.
I think we are on the cusp of a big push to complete TR to PR early in 2023 but then again, that’s just a hunch. Best wishes!
