[sad tadpole]

I applied for PRTD on h&c grounds on 30th june 2026 from pakistan through online pr portal
My current GCkey account status says

That is fairly fast processing so tough to say whether approved or refused. Your profile and reason for applying may give a better indication about whether it is more likely to be approved or not. Final decision status is really for IRCC staff records and doesn’t provide an indication on when you should receive correspondence. That being said I would suspect you will likely hear from IRCC this week or next week.

Hello Everyone,

I applied for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) under Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds for my wife in July. She is currently in India with an expired PR card. As of now, I have not yet received an update yet. I created a webform, a file number is issued.

She is in India with our child who is a Canadian Citizen. My wife landed in 2018 and left Canada in 2022 due to some unprecedented circumstances. All supports documents are submitted along with the application.

Since IRCC does not provide official processing timelines for this specific type of application, I wanted to reach out to the group. Has anyone here experienced something similar, or does anyone have insights into the current wait times for H&C PRTD applications? Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Please and Thanks in Advance.
