Why does IRCC make people wait so long after giving them protection status?





The long delays are destroying people’s mental health. Depression, anxiety, and stress are becoming normal for those stuck in this endless process.





If someone has already been granted protection status, why does it still take so many years for them to get PR?





Today at the clinic, I met a man who has been in Canada for 6 years. He applied for PR 3 years ago, and he’s still waiting. His wife and kids are back home, and the separation is taking a huge toll on him. He came to the walk-in clinic just to get a doctor’s note to submit to IRCC in hopes of expediting his case, because he’s struggling with depression.





It feels unfair and inhumane. People who are already recognized as needing protection should not be left in limbo for half a decade or more. The wait destroys families, careers, and mental health.





Has anyone else here been through the same kind of wait? Did you try to expedite your PR due to health or family reasons, and did it actually work?

My only daughter, 13 years old. 4 years far from me, depressed since two years ago. I asked For help three times to local deputy. Can do nothing. Just asked My notes , what I can do by myself. That's all they can do. They don't care.

IRCC makes decisions on Protected Person PR applications within the limits of Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan, which is set each year and tabled in Parliament. For 2025, the government capped the number of Protected Persons in Canada (and their dependents abroad) at 20,000 admissions. This means that even if thousands of applications are already fully processed and marked “ready for final decision,” officers cannot finalize them all at once — they must pace approvals so the total number of landed protected persons does not exceed the yearly quota. Inside IRCC’s system, cases are often grouped and processed in batches rather than one-by-one each day. When assessments (eligibility, medical, security, background) are complete, the file goes into a “ready for decision” queue. Officers then review these case groups, but the final sign-off is timed against available quota space. This explains why many applicants see no progress for months even though all checks are done — their file is essentially waiting for a landing spot to open under the 20,000 cap. Once quota space is available, officers can quickly flip those “ready” files to Decision Made (DM) and issue the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) in a short batch.
