2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

Can someone please tell me how can I get my cbsa notes?

I’m sure they will speed up the process by the end of this year to finalize this year’s quota. Right now they’re moving slow.

Not likely, going forward towards end of year means we enter the holiday season, most IRCC employees will take vacations, they are lazy as it is and now holiday season coming they wouldn't process applications any better. After new year when they come back to work all they do is talk about where they went for a couple weeks, then they will start working on files slowly again. And with current Canada Post strikes, the delivery of any mail is almost impossible until after new year. I have been waiting for my PR card for a month now, I'm sure I will be waiting for another few months just to get a simple stupid card they could easily print and ship it before the strike.

IRCC sucks badly.

Now it’s seems like hard for April or even March to get PR this year.

It's amazing how slow they work. I wonder what do they do during the day in those Offices? Because there is an entire Section working just For refugee and dependants files.

Anybody please have an idea how long it takes to Approve PR for protected person specially govt employees . It takes too longer compared to others? I passed 19 months, only criminality passed.

See the timeline between final decision and eCOPR. It is a month and a half, not four days. Anyway, there is a red flag on the G number. It is hard to believe that IRCC would issue a G number within three days, especially since they need to make sure the application is complete. Also, there is no way IRCC issues a Pre-arrival in two months. They need to complete certain pre-screening steps before that. So, I think it is one of the fake accounts.

Thanks for your comment.

I understand your doubts timelines can vary widely, especially for protected persons. But I can assure you my case is 100% real.

Protected person applications often move faster in some stages and slower in others, depending on the office handling the file. My G number was indeed issued within three days.

Also, pre-arrival letters are sometimes triggered early when eligibility is marked as “passed” in the system it doesn’t always follow the same pattern as economic class applications.

Everything I shared is based on my verified GCKey timeline.

Anyway If you don’t believe it, that’s totally fine just skip the post instead of questioning someone’s credibility. I gain nothing from sharing this, I only posted my real timeline to give hope and helpful insight to others, just as I once benefited from this forum and its members.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Is it necessary that back country govt employee’s PR processing takes time? If yes then how much it takes,

Processing Time updated to 30 months

Processing Time updated to 30 months

It’s good news, which means they’ve restarted work on our cases. The published processing time of 29 months refers to old cases that were already completed in 29 months, not to future ones. So when our actual wait reaches 31 months while the published time is still 29, it shows they’re processing files from that 29-month group — and an increase in the published time is actually a positive sign for us.
