2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[May545]

What I observed in this forum is they stopped processing on april 2023. Nobody who applied after that date had news. So why the numbers are decreasing. It is strange. I have hope but it will be good they explain how they will be processing under this one-time initiative.

This reduction is one of three: 1. They split applicants from dependent 2. Mass cancellation of the application 3. They started a one-time initiative program(the number of reduction is very close the number allocated per year).

i believe they removed lots of fake/expired applications from the past. no other way to explain 50,000 applications disappear within a month

Honestly, I don’t understand what’s going on with this site. Last month I was at 16,500, and this month I’m at 9,800. So what happened to the 6,800 people who were ahead of me? And the processing time hasn’t changed — it still shows 30 months for me in Quebec

Same here, Quebec too. I was at 15,500 in Dec. and now at 9,100 and 28 months (was 32 in Dec)...I still don't know if QC applicants are gonna be included in the one-time initiative...mum's the word from IRCC/Gov so far.

I think they split main applicant from dependants. For my dependants before showed 40 months. Now 8 nonths and you can select the month you applied. That's new.
