2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Ebenezer01]

They did not issue any PRs for people who applied before 2023. The queue was 2,700 last month, and it did not change this month.
For 2023 applicants, only 400 people received PR. This number appears to be divided as follows: 100 in January, 0 in February, 100 in March, 100 in April, and 100 for the rest of the year.
For 2024 applicants, the number is 2,900 because I already subtracted the previous year’s data.
Honestly, I feel embarrassed for spending so much time tracking these numbers, but many of us are desperate. Some people have been waiting for more than 38 months. We have lived in Canada for more than eight years, have clean backgrounds, and still have to wait more than three years for a final decision.

You shouldn't be ashamed, you did a really good analysis. It definitely helped me to see the clear picture. It is frustrating to wait but it is what it is. We can't do anything from our side. There must be several reasons behind difference in processing times.
I applied through a representative and he told me that they will request security clearance from my country of residence (not the country of nationality). But Canada and that middle eastern country don't have agreement for sharing security info, so in this case IRCC people will wait for a certain period time and then issue PR eventually once they will not receive any response.
I also traveled to a few countries before coming to Canada, who knows IRCC would be checking with those countries that I applied refugee in those countries.
Those 2024 applicants might have simpler cases and they got processed quicker than mine. There could be a possibility that mostly complex cases are left from 2023 thats why they are able to process approximately 400 cases.
All these are assumptions except what my representative told me.
I am June 2023 applicant by the way.

You belongs to military background ?

This is the funny part I don't have any military background, and I didn't complete military service in my country.

Does your country require mandatory military service? Some countries require mandatory military service for like 1 or 2 years.

Yes, but I came to Canada before that.

 

[Ebenezer01]

Yes, but I came to Canada before that.

That's what I thought, IRCC knows that your country of nationality requires mandatory service so thats why they asked you to fill out that form. In my opinion they will now make sure that the information you've provided is correct, that is, you didn't do the military service. Again, this is just my opinion.
