You can reach out if you want but it will be pointless and a waste of your time and effort. You will receive the same responses you’ve already received or be told to reach out to IRCC or even MP directly which you’ve already done. 31 months is not a guaranteed processing time. Your processing time is in line with others so there would be nothing for the immigration minister to address. Processing has just gotten longer and will continue getting longer and nothing is going to change that. Would suggest you just wait and you will receive PR in the next few months like other March 2023 applicants. Whether it is in 2025 or 2026 also depends on how close IRCC is to meeting this year’s PR target for protected people, refugees and their dependents. You have been in a long queue for quite a while but are getting close to the front.

There are people waiting for PR from 2021 in Quebec so no you wouldn’t have PR in Quebec at this point. They still have longer processing times.
Those applicants are still within the processing time—PR processing time in Quebec is 45 months. Please don’t compare apples to oranges.
Exactly, what he is saying is only implied when u have process long left or work left on ur life, here is most of the files are done, and 2026 for may people can imply but can’t say to march or april.
Hello March applicants, any updates? Did anyone receive FD yet? How many of you are still waiting?
March 24th nothing.I even finished all the processes in July and was just waiting for the final decision.
If you applied in 2021 you may have also exceeded posted processing times which are not guaranteed. Wasn’t actually the one who brought up Quebec. In general whether in or out of Quebec actual processing times are going up so quickly that posted processing which are backwards looking are out of date when they are posted. Posted times are also were never guaranteed and IRCC compares to other applicants when it determines if your processing is significantly longer than others or action need to be taken. Telling your MP, the minister or IRCC that it has been slightly over 31 months won’t lead to any action because that is what everyone is experiencing.
I get where you’re coming from, but that’s not entirely accurate. Posted processing times aren’t meaningless, they’re based on IRCC’s own data from finalized cases, updated monthly. When someone’s application goes well past that range, it’s not “normal” or “what everyone is facing” it’s outside the department’s own published benchmark.
Also, MPs and the Minister’s office do more than pass messages along. Their inquiries often lead to internal reviews or updates that applicants wouldn’t otherwise get. It’s not about asking for special treatment, it’s about ensuring files don’t sit idle while newer ones move forward.
You seem to discourage people by presenting assumptions as facts, and that doesn’t really help anyone. Sharing half-truths or dismissing valid concerns only adds to the confusion people already face with IRCC’s process.
It’s fine to remind others that waiting is part of the system, but it’s even better to share accurate information and encourage people to hold institutions accountable not just accept delays as fate.
ATTENTION:
Just a quick note for everyone here, it’s important not to take everything one person says as the final word, especially when they’ve already received their PR and have nothing at stake anymore. Some people hang around these forums for years giving opinions that sound official but are really just personal assumptions.
Always double check with official IRCC updates or through your own MP inquiry instead of relying on someone who mixes facts with their own frustration. Many of us are genuinely trying to help each other move forward, not drag others down with negativity or false confidence.
So if someone’s main contribution is telling others what can’t be done, take that for what it is noise, not knowledge. Stay focused, stay informed, and don’t let anyone’s bitterness shape your path.
