Yeah, it's even slower than before, it used to be predictable

Are applicant of april/march 2023 getting an response?

 

[june 2023]

NO Responses for me.

My dependent husband and I both got work permit extension validity of 2 years, in the remarks section written THIS PERMIT DOES NOT CONFER TEMPORARY RESIDENT STATUS AS PER SECTION 202 OF IRPR. What does it mean? Does anyone have the same remarks?

 

[Gusmcr]

Same questions I have. 4 years, 4 months away from my child. I applied twice for visa, denied. Maybe after PR they approve the visa. Let's pray

The prices for liberia, CR, round-trip are super affordable, I found it last week for 320$.
Maybe you could her meet there.
I've checked the city it's a little small for jungle adventures, so not much my thing, but I have to admit I got tempted in buying it.
The annoying part is that they request you (Nicaraguan) a police check for the visa.

My status bar in GC Key disappeared. The one that shows the percentage to completion. It had been at a 100% since June 2025 but now it has disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else?

It also happened to me, also the message mentioning “20% complex applications are processed longer” are gone.

The remark is common and work permit gives you the right to work & does not define your immigration status.

Thank you, J.

 

[appwarez]

same thing here, it only says submitted. I think there won't be any status update from the portal, I read that we have to use below online tool to check the status but it only shows your application when they started processing the application.

The link that you have posted, if you are applied on paper-based applications (It mainly supports older or paper applications). Now a days most of the application is processed in a newer system called CGKey https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html

It also happened to me, also the message mentioning “20% complex applications are processed longer” are gone.

Do you apply paper base application ?

 

[june 2023]

I did paper-based.

Hey people,
Just got my WP extension renewal decision (I know it is not related to this section, but still a good hope for 2023 PR applicants)

I applied on August 11, 2024, and just received an approval email. (They put an Eligibility review on it for whatever reason, which took so long to be approved.)

I called them many times and spoke with multiple MPs. Finally received approval yesterday, April 2, 2026. It was much more stressful than my in-process PR application, since I lost my job.


May this be a good sign for our PR applications as well
