Lock-in is typically used for cases when parent is the one get protected status and children may be older teenagers at that point and may be over 22 by the time they get PR. This is an entirely different situation where the parents & sibling are asking to be considered for PR on H&C grounds. Also is at a time when processing will likely take many years and Canada is trying to reduce immigration and temporary resident numbers. Assume child who got protected person is likely a teenage girl. By the time she applied for PR she was an adult. Why she got asylum and not the rest of her family, the family’s arguments as to why they also should secure PR, how long this case takes to get processed and how hard the government is trying to reduce immigration numbers will likely all factor into the outcome of this case. If I was the other sibling I would be learning French and studying a field in demand in case they don’t get PR. They would have other options even if they had to leave Canada and then try to come back.

As previously noted by previous poster IRCC is very backlogged. The PR process is going to take 5+ years so there will be very long periods of time when you hear nothing and see no changes in your application.
No responsible government will process any application inside canada for more than 5years even if they have more than a million pending application, stop this propaganda.
I know of someone who applied January 2025 and have already gotten AOR and biometrics done
Yes they will. It is partially the result of governent incompetence & poor planning and the desire to be the most “humanitarian” country.

That is just the initial easy stage. Would expect their application to move very little for the next few years. That is just the reality.
Whether people believe me or not now the government and immigration professionals are confirming things that I have been saying. Although this article focuses on H&C applies to other categories as well.

Have you received AOR? What is the goal in applying for GCMS notes when you only applied for PR in July 2025? If you are experiencing normal processing and the notes will not provide any further important information about your application what is the point? Although technically it is a right it has a cost to taxpayers and diverts resources which could be used for things like processing. It should really be used for as a strategic tool when you are experiencing unusual processing times for example.
