Hi all, I've been trying to find more information on how to handle a delayed P2, but I haven't really found any info on this specific issue. So, I figured it would behoove me to make a thread about it and see if anyone has insights they can share with me for my situation.
So far my PR application has been processing smoothly... until now. My full timeline is in my signature if anyone is curious, but I'll provide the consolidated version here.
2023 Nov 9: Application submitted for Family Class Sponsorship - Inland (Quebec)
2023 Dec 1: AOR
2023 Dec 28: Biometrics Completed
2024 Mar 22: CSQ and Undertaking Approval Received
2024 Apr 15: Approved in Principal and Sponsor Approved
2024 Apr 29: Eligibility Completed
2024 Jun 11: Medical Completed
2025 Jul 10: Right to Permanent Residence Fee Request
2025 Sep 13: Medical Extended
2025 Oct 23: Status changed to Final Decision
2025 Oct 24: Background Check Completed
2025 Oct 30: Virtual Landing Request (Portal 1) Received
As I mentioned, I have not yet received the Portal 2 email, meanwhile it seems like everyone around me has already received theirs. The P1 letter included instructions for reaching out if there's a technical error for your P2, but no way to contact if your P2 seems to be delayed. So I decided to reach out to IRCC via Web Form because I tried calling and I just couldn't get through to an agent. The timeline for those communications is below.
Nov 1: Automated response from P1 inbox received via email confirming my email with my info was received.
Nov 9: I sent a follow-up email to IRCC with corrections to my initial response.
Nov 28: I sent a Web Form to IRCC with my correction details and the message "I have not yet received a Portal 2 email from IRCC or any other communication with further instructions."
Dec 4: IRCC confirmed the Web Form info I provided had been verified, but indicated my file couldn't be accessed without further details submitted via Web Form.
Dec 8: IRCC confirmed my correction documents via Web Form were received and added to my file and that the info provided would be given review and consultation by an agent, but any questions included would have to be resubmitted via Web Form as a new inquiry.
Dec 12: IRCC responded thusly to my inquiry, "We have verified the information you provided and have forwarded your request to the responsible office. Please be assured that we understand how important this process is to you and that we are making every effort to finalize your application as quickly as possible. We will inform you as soon as a decision is made or if further information is required."
The "responsible office" mentioned is Mississauga.
My Open Work Permit is also set to expire on Jan 28, 2026.
Does anyone have any experience with a P2 delay or any idea why this is taking so long to get the P2 to me or any insights into what kind of a timeline I might be looking at for the remainder of my processing? I'm concerned I will not be able to keep my job if the delay persists. I'm also worried that having such a long delay might indicate a more serious problem (such as a late-stage refusal? Is that possible at this point?)
Thanks for any feedback! ❤
