Yes! I agree! Happy for them but at the same time why we have to wait no reason! I hope we will get good news soon.
2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)
- Thread starter jinglebell0123
- Start date
If they are really giving PR to 2024 applicants, we need to go to our MPs and file a petition. This is not fair to 2023 applicants. We have been waiting for three years, and they are skipping us while approving people who waited much less. Let’s speak up and make our MPs hear us
mp also gives generic response the only way is writ to mandamus
But I heard with mandamus you have to pay a lawyer and it is quite expensive, is that true?
Mandamus will be refused automatically if you are still within the normal processing time. Even applicants from August 2022 cannot apply for it because their cases are still considered within processing time.
The only option now is to file petitions and ask Members of Parliament (MPs) to contact IRCC and explain that 2023 applicants were skipped.
Guys we need to move and act fast

The thing is this, what is "normal processing times"? They changed them when convenient, increase from one day to next. :/
Exactly!
For you guys/gals out of QC a few months ago average time was around 24 months, and now I think they say is around 34? For us in QC it was 46 months back in Sep/Oct 2025 and now it is 61 months.
They keep moving the post, so, it is harder to qualify for Mandamus.
If we can find a Member of Parliament (MP) to sponsor our cause, an official e-petition can be launched on the House of Commons website. Once it is live, we can all sign it, and the MP will formally present it in Parliament
The current processing system is deeply unjust. Countless individuals have endured years of separation from their loved ones, yet dependent family members cannot receive their Permanent Residency (PR) until the principal applicant's file is approved. This systemic bottleneck does not just impact single applicants; it causes prolonged emotional and financial hardship for entire families
100% true but I read every year there are petitions like this and nothing happens. Even now we are waiting for this one-time initiative...let's see if finally moves faster.
You are correct. We need MPs to support us. Do you know that we are only 20,000 applicants? We could easily receive PR within a four-month based on current quota. We represent only about 15% of all cases, yet they skipped us. We are living in a very difficult situation because of our refugee status.
another hypothesis ircc is literally waiting for Bill C-12 to pass, bill is in its final stage and might be passed at the beginning of March. After that they may expedite the processing.

C12 is not relevant to PR applicants. It mainly applies to refugee claimants. Please read it carefully first.
I have read it and watch all meetings and I haven’t found a single point for pr applicants
Then why IRCC is not working protected persons PR applications they are waiting for what?
There's no such thing as "not working." There are people who are gettinh Final decisions during this process, but the acceleration mentioned hasn't started yet, I think they're making the necessary investments and systematic adjustments. Someone in forum said the acceleration would start in April, they might be working on some systematic changes.
They are working, but very slowly. Last month, they issued only 200 PRs. I heard in this group that they have already issued PRs to some 2024 applicants, including some who applied in the middle of 2024.
