2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Sammi0048]

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.

I hope it's as you said.

U r right first time I was not sad seeing this cuz processing time they updated means the last one we actually saw they processed January and February in 29 months when it was 31 months processing time on website. Now 30 months means they should move in next so we will see some updates hopefully.

We r on almost. 31 months.
