2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Flowercita]

IRCC works in chronological order. By the way, you already received your PR in August. Why are you still here? I bet this is one of Ruslan’s accounts.

They work in chronological order with who fulfilled the requirements, if no, go to queau. That is 100% true. Of course there is a huge delay but they wont process your if not ready with all assessments even if it is your turn according with the chronological order.

Why they stopped processing 2023 files? Nobody knows.

For Protected Persons, a Mandamus application can be an option against Immigration, IRCC, but it depends on what is your case stage at.
Mandamus may work if your application is well past normal processing times & you’ve had no meaningful updates.
Cost & Risk
Legal fees often $4,000 to $8,000+takes 2–6 months
IRCC may act quickly once served (many cases settle)
No guarantee of approval only a decision.
My friend, who works as an immigration lawyer, mentioned that Mandamus is more successful when the delay is clearly unreasonable.

Im frustrated but Im not thinking still apply to mandamus, is quite expensive and long process. Better wait littlebit more. Hopefully these next months we can see they speed up.
