2024 PR Application timeline

[canuck78]

I am 100% sure.

Based on your timeline and info you likely have AOR although you may have not received/seen the email.

IRCC should really rename pre-arrival because it leads to so much confusion. Receiving pre-arrival means nothing in terms of processing it is sent within the PR processing timeline but does not mean that you are close to receiving COPR

Sorry, that’s not quite correct. For inland PR applicants, receiving a pre-arrival letter means they have passed the eligibility stage, and the official eligibility letter will follow. After a long period of silence, this is a positive sign in the process.

Not everyone gets AOR.

It still doesn’t mean anything in terms of processing time it is purely procedural. Eligibility also doesn’t guarantee approval which is also something that gets confusing.

Eligibility may seem like just a procedural step in your opinion , but it actually serves as a crucial filter that shapes how applications are processed at later stages. While it doesn’t guarantee PR approval, it significantly increases the chances of a positive outcome. Without meeting the eligibility criteria, an application isn’t even considered for approval. so dismissing eligibility as merely procedural and irrelevant to processing time or approval is misleading.
By the way, we might be refugees, but that doesn’t mean we are uneducated or unaware of the rules. We understand the system and its requirements.

I said Prearrival was procedural.

Lol this canuck user thinks we are all stupid and only he/she knows the correct way. This user is always spreading negativity and hopeless messages. Also never shares his/her timeline. I wonder if this user even is a refugee or just comes to this forum to shatter any hope we have left during this long process. Canadian website is your best source of information or other users on this forum are extremely helpful, not canuck though.

Let’s be clear that I never said that asylum seekers are uneducated or stupid. Many are unrealistic about the process and IRCC has created a huge mess that necessitates reform like many of it’s programs. You may not have been in Canada during the last reform when people were waiting over 2.5 years to have claims processed. Given the reduced quotas I don’t think people are prepared for what it coming. Same issue in many economic programs. Way too many people applying for a limited number of spots. With a likely recession quotas may need to be reduced even more.

Hi everyone, what's your experience with the concurrent processing pilot, if one is selected for that, does the dependent get ppr immediately when the decision is made or does he or she have to wait for the 50 month mark?? Thank you

Good for you! That's great news.

But haven't you linked your application to your GCKey?

This is the first time I've heard that an IRCC letter is sent to a home address. Previously, I had seen it being received either via email or through the GCKey account.

I have linked it and I was surprised to get that in email but when I login there was no message. I’m surprised

Hi, have you received medical request yet? As I am Feb 2024 applicant as well only received biometric request.

My medical was passed, they didn't request it. Biometrics are done.

 

[Rock5627171]

Thank you for replying.
I actually called them today morning and he told me exactly this. They gave me a temporary number with X and he told I need to wait until confirm they reviewed my docs and change my application number to a permanent and only then try to link, or it won't work.

Will I get any email from permanent resident portal? Or they just change the status there and I need to keep checking times to times?

I was concerned the issue was because my "place of birth" was filled with "city/estate" and not only the "city/town" by the person who helped me. I imagined the / was causing problem.

And by the way he gave me the travel document tracking

You check with them later on if they did put the permanent number for your file. I would ask you once you receive your permanent number call them to be guided properly. I was putting all my info correctly but it was getting an error... I called them then I found my mistake.. in general the applicant number, I was putting 2 though I'd overseas spouse but it should 1. When I put 1 it was successfully linked.
