2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[ohaurela]

Please Keep your opinion to yourself. You are ungrateful. You think you are the only one suffering. Its depressing and we get it. If you feel your country is better, what stops you from going back?. Canada saved our lives literally. Mental health matters a lot yes. There are lost opportunities, yes. But there will surely be light at the end of the tunnel. I know someone who claimed refugee in the US in 2021. Till now, no work permit and her case is still pending. It has not even been heard by a judge. I hear in UK, they even review the status of the country after some years to know if they can send the refugee back (I dont know how true) but in Canada, your pathway to citizenship is pure and straight after PR.

its okay for them to have a different opinion and to have those feelings. Dont shut down others feelings just because you dont feel them or agree with them.

Timeline updated today for me its showing 4 months .up to yesterday there were 21000 applications was ahead of me today its showing 20700. Ahead of me .that means last month only 300 people got Approved. Now God knows how they can approve 20700 applications in 4 Months..I applied on Dec23.

16 monts processing time. For oct 2023, 3 months

The published processing time does not seem accurate. How can applicants from September 2022 to April 2023 all have the same waiting time of one month? And how can they finish 100,000 applications in 17 months if they are processing only 300 applications per month?

The processing time seems fake. Applicants from September 2022 until April 2023 all show the same processing time of one month.

My processing time took longer than normal but it will give light to those who are waiting from the same period as mine. May everyone receive their PR soon. Don’t get tricked from the people who are joining this forum and spreading negativity. I have been on this forum from the beginning and its for helping each other with questions or enquires. Dont spread perceptions or personal views on it. Move with facts. Good luck everyone
