HI guys I think Alberta is the worst place when it comes to processing Asylum PR, more Especially Edmonton Alberta. I applied for PR January 2020 it took one year before I could get ARO and understand that Covid impact the processing, but after I got the ARO I keep getting updates until my files was sent to Edmonton in 2021 March ever since then no update and majority of 2021 and 2022 have got their's or are almost. Only know what person handling my file is doing,

Shouldn’t all refugee prs be processed in Mississauga?

That's where the filing goes to but sometimes they send it to other Provence for the final decision and that where it get stuck. Someone will be drinking coffee when he or she suppose to be working.

They are understaffed.... not sure of drinking coffee, but recent report confirmed Immigration are understaffed to cope with the volume

I do have a question though, medical exam has been submitted by the clinic yesterday and yesterday on gckey it shows as passed, does passed means the officer changed the status or it has been changed automatically
Note that it has been changed the same day
emedical is interlinked, so it is automatic

The 23 months processing window does not include your overseas dependent. They will start processing your overseas dependent application when your PR is approved and the duration/ processing time is a function of the overseas visa office handling it.
