I have re-submitted my PR application under Humanitarian after my husband passed in 2023. I have received the stage one approval last year but It has been almost 24 months ( next Monday due), I have not received the e-COPR from IRCC. Is this normal? What should I next?

When was AIP approved? You actually got quite lucky and got very fast processing for H&C for AIP. Most waited closer to 3 years for results of AIP. Many are waiting between 1-2 years to get through the 2nd stage and backlogs keep growing while the quota is very small. Expect significant reforms to H&C once/if bill C-12 passes because the program is online functional. Would keep establishing your ties to Canada, be financially independent, etc. since we have no idea what will happen to the general H&C program.

I received the AIP in January 2025. I approached the MP in my area to communicate with IRCC. I have passed most of the stages but still stuck in the security check. The security checks still not initiate yet. When I checked the processing timeline of my application last October, it was 24 months, and that mean my approval should due in early of Dec 2025. However, when the MP checked With IRCC last Dec after the processing window due, it changes to 48 months more. Honestly, it is a frustrating situation as it affects a lot things in life.

It was never 24 months if you paid attention to the raw data of how many were applying and the yearly quota. The new system gives a much more accurate picture.
