2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[May545]

Yeah we r on edge that’s y very frustrating and need real updates and I can understand about new accounts people are genuine too. Hopefully October bring some good news for people, I understood there processing a bit they taking 31 months for March or April people, it may increase for may and June. They took 30 months for January and February.

My friend, we’re already frustrated. We’ll hit 31 months in a few days, while most January applicants received their final decisions in about 28 months and February applicants in under 29 months.

Let's go easy and not attack folks perceived to be new. I was also following this group for a long time before I started posting. I just migrated from Newbie to member.
Recall we were hardly asking people to post their dates because responses were mostly within processing time.
We are now asking folks to post application dates which must have led to the spike in responses.
Most of us are on the edge so let's try and relax a little. Let's not scare people from making info available. After all even Ruslan my friend has cooled down

I agree—some newbies are genuine and even very helpful. Unfortunately, some people share fake updates, which creates suspicion, and many of our genuine members have left the forum because of it

It’s not good that the processing time hasn’t increased. March cases are over 30 months now, some almost 31. If March were being processed, the posted time would go up. Since it hasn’t, many March files are probably still pending. When they start, the time will spike.

Yeah they not even reach after half march yet. It’s like not moving till we reach 31 months

Agree! But now at least we can contact them and say our cases are out of the "processing time".
