2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[May545]

Thank you... I feel better to hear that. They also just emailed me for missing documents where I provided long time ago.. I guess it is a good sign at least my application is not cancelled. The GCMS notes with secondary office in Montreal and my MP told me it's gonna take 49 months really freaks me out.

I bet it is a good sign.

I ordered the GCMS last year! on July 16th, and just received it today.
And they changed my secondary office from Calgary to Montreal. Why???? I have been living in Alberta since I came to Canada.
And the application status is cancelled?! WTF? And the reason is admin Error????
To this day, I still can't link my application online. Called IRCC and they said they don't have new info. My MP's office said my application will take 49 months??? Just don't know what to do? Why move my application to QC if I am physically never been to QC...

What your GCMS notes are telling you ?
What your MP’s office told you sounds like a generic processing time, not your actual case.You’re being treated as a Quebec applicant.
Protected Persons outside Quebec Standard processing: 12–16 months. Even with delays: usually 18–24 months, not 4+ years

I don't know this is GCMS updated on last year, but i recently got an email for missing documents, so suppose they are still processing. I ordered another GCMS notes today and wait to see the next one.

Administrative Error” might have been
* Duplicate application created by IRCC
* File processed under the wrong category
System or officer mistake
* File transferred incorrectly between offices

If that's the case, i would advise you to seek help from a immigration attorney

Send a webform explaining status of your application was cancelled due to administrative error request it can be reinstated, OR you need to submit a new application?

Its NOT my application, was merely giving advise to the persons who having that issue

You can share this info who ever need it. Application is cancelled for administrative error; it’s often fixable by reaching out to IRCC for clarification.

The C12 bill has been passed and it is clearly written in it that our PR application can be rejected for any reason. So nervous
I applied June 2023
After Eligibility and pre-arrival nothing happened

Even though Immigration decisions still have to follow existing laws and regulations procedural fairness, documented reasons tied to your file, officers still base decisions on eligibility, background checks, documents, etc. It’s not arbitrary in the way it sounds. NO need nervous.

It does not affect the protected person as much as affecting the CEC category. Because they cant return a protected person or revoke the positive decision. Bc then what was the point of approving the decision if they gonna get send back plus they announced the one-time initiative for protected person . So it doesn't make sense to grant 115k PR for protected person but laso cancel their PR applications. This really applies to refugee claimants

Yeah but then what happens in the scenario where someone actually lied / fraud during their refugee claim, got protected status, and then even got PR?
Like are IRCC saying “well, too late now, enjoy the PR/ passport ”? We will focus upcoming frauds prevent with C-12?
