2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[CAPR2023]

No, not necessarily. My overseas dependent has completed their medical and biometrics as well and we haven't received a final decision. Their case won't be finalized until the primary applicant received their final decision. But it's a good sign it means their case is moving forward.

How many days/months have passed since your overseas dependants passed their medical examination?

I applied for PR in March 2023, almost 44 months ago, and there hasn't been any movement on my application since then. Today, I noticed that both the Biometrics and Additional Documents sections changed to "Not applicable," but there was no update notification or any other change. My application is currently undergoing a comprehensive security check. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Hi after seeing this, I also noticed that. Is this a good sign or someone touched the file? Anyone else experiencing this please?

Yes, A34. In January 2024, her criminality passed and medical passed. The last notes requesed in October, 2025 showed her "security pending," and yesterday, "Background Not Applicable" was found on the portal.

Any update ?

Hello everyone,
I submitted my application in March 2023. In my GCMS notes, I saw that a comprehensive security screening (A34) was requested in February 2025. I thought this screening was normal until I read a comment that made me concerned.
I don’t understand why it was requested, as I’m a peaceful person, never involved in the military, and have done nothing wrong.
Is this type of screening common for all protected persons, or just for me? Has anyone else gone through it? How long did it take? I’ve heard it can take 17 months or more—is that true?
Thank you.

Any update ?
