You can add the biometric letter to the webform they sent you after he gave the biometrics. They send the biometric requests nevertheless
2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)
- Thread starter jinglebell0123
- Start date
For Permanent residency, they always require biometrics even if you have provided before for your temporal residency permit application. Its standard. The reason makes no sense to me but its standard.
My story is testimony to all as a Christian…I arrived in Canada on January 2024 and applied for refugee status and attend my hearing
Hearing July 2024
Submitted PR application August 2024
Final approval March 2, 2026
Portal 1 March 5, 2026
Portal 2 March 6, 2026
ECOPR March 22, 2026
My pastor told me…IRCC will ignore all the long queues and process applications fo August 2024 and it came to pass…I give God the glory and praying anyone waiting for PR will get it soon…

Are you kidding me? Sorry to say this, but this timeline is unbelievable. It is impossible for the IRB to conduct a comprehensive review, schedule an interview, and make a decision within 6 months. Most people wait 3 years just to have their case heard. Thanks for sharing your timeline. Now we know the 2024 timelines are fake.
I don’t know this guy but I have a friend waiting for only card now. He was February 2024 applicant
I checked the wait times for all years, along with the number of applications in the queue, and it seems that only about 300 applications were processed last month, all from 2022. Around 200 were processed the month before. The number of applications in the queue does not lie, unless IRCC is not updating it, which is hard to believe. Guys, I am pretty sure all the 2024 update are fake. Please be patient. The good news may come next month, when they begin processing the one-time initiative.
I am not tallking about Pr. please see his or her time line. Do you believe a refugee case can be heard and decided within 6 months? He or she said they got protected status in 6 months. Most applicants from 2022 have not even had their interview yet because of the backlog. To be honest, I have started to doubt the 2024 cases, but this update makes me feel foolish for believing such a myth.
I see. I can’t say anything about the hearing. My case was accepted in 9 months and 1 week.
Do you work with IRB…I have realized IRCC and IRB do not process cases by fist come first serve beside my province is Saskatchewan
Wow! It took almost 3 years for me, and my lawyer said it is normal. when did you apply (i mean for refugee)?
In Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC most people get their hearing within 3 months to 1 year
Anyway, congratulations. Please don’t play with other people’s feelings. Please be humane.
