Time line for Permanent Residence application for Refugees
- Thread starter Jalalcananda
- Start date
where did you see it? On the official website where they show processing time there is no option for oversees dependents of refugees. family class is there but it think that is a different process. Besides our dependents applications start with G which is PR application for refugees.
so far I believe the direct COPR is better than the e-portal because I rather have the permanent resident status ASAP than getting a fast pr card but waiting weeks for COPR.
Agree with you , in my view the new Portal make the process easier fro IRCC staff and slower for us
Exactly IRCC should have just sent the COPR via email and then have you go to that portal to upload picture and then they can send the card but a new portal that makes zero sense and also another waiting period after people have waited forever already
Thanks my passport is not seized by claiming refugee but I sent it with my PR application so would I receive it back with PR Card ???

From what I see the processes are about somewhat the same waiting time, the portal seems slow because we submitted our info weeks ago compared to getting your COPR on that same day IRCC contacted you but they didn't contact you for a month or 2 after a decision was made. A lot of people who recently got COPR got DM in November and December so with or without the portal it was pretty much the same waiting time. And you might be right about it being easier for IRCC maybe because Etobicoke has a higher volume of applications compared to other offices. Across the site majority of COPRs were sent from Etobicoke.
Someone I know got their PR processed as well with the following timelines.
