Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

[Banky@77]

Okay... just to confirm, if you were given the choice to return to your home country and wait there, but in return your PR would be ready in eight months and then you could come back to Canada as a full PR - you'd take that deal?

So I was trying to demonstrate why no one in this position should want to sacrifice protection in the name of faster processing.

(I suppose at this point it's academic - I'm not sure when https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...pplementary-immigration-levels-2026-2028.html came out but it seems like the plan from the current administration is for approved refugees and protected persons to get their PR within the next two years from now. The gov't here wants to both give you protection and faster processing. Edit: Basically I greatly underestimated the ability of the current admin to find a way to navigate this and find a solution in the current political climate. Mea culpa - but I'm also happy that they were able to do this.)


Hmm. So my home country is one that is currently run by clowns and sinks deeper and deeper into human rights abuses every day. It gets worse and worse. In a world where the status of a country itself didn't matter, I probably could stake out such a claim successfully.

But here's why I won't. The PR granted to an approved refugee is actually inferior to that granted via other pathways. I came in via an economic stream, and got my PR that way. The benefit is that I don't have to worry about cessation. Right now, even though I may not like to do so, I can travel to my home country and renew my national passport without worry.

If I were to renounce my PR, make my refugee claim, and get approved, and obtain PR again as a refugee, then this changes. Even after receiving PR, I must use an RTD and be careful not to travel to my home country ever, except in the most extreme of circumstances - and even then only with the approval of a lawyer experienced in this area. Failure to follow this rule could cause me to lose my PR entirely and I may even be forced to leave Canada.

The other aspect here is - a refugee who has PR of Canada is in a slightly more secure position than an approved refugee who lacks it. So one can value protection over fast process but still apply for and hope for PR w/o being some sort of

You can use your superior PR to contest for canada Prime Minister. What sense does your argument make to you?So everyone must come under economic stream?Why don't you stay in your country and make it great?You are yet to tell this forum what someone with economic stream pr can do and others cannot do.Nonesense talk.

if you were skilled you would obviously come through entry express as an example. what’s wrong with that you seem mad unless you have no education and just want to be here by any means and get processed faster.
chill boy

I thought about how they reached 115k. They're probably based on applications from June 2025 and before. Because when you look at the IRCC processing time tool for June 2025, the number of pending applications appears to be around 114,900.

Why dont you use your so called education in your country?You have all the skills, you cant use it for the benefit of your own country. So all protected persons are not Educated?I can see you are an educated illiterate.

Nonsense. Citizenship is obviously required for that.

So everyone must come under economic stream?

Nonsense. It's just to emphasis that the protected person pathway is about protection. I mean, it's literally in the name.

You are yet to tell this forum what someone with economic stream pr can do and others cannot do.

Nonsense. I literally answered this. Let me quote myself:

Nonesense talk.

I mean, you're the one who's 4 out of 4 on this atm....

What sense does your argument make to you?

I don't understand how you are failing to grasp this. Let me state it again:

> the main goal of asylum/protected people and refugee is safety not fast processing to get citizenship.

> So I was trying to demonstrate why no one in this position should want to sacrifice protection in the name of faster processing.

So all protected persons are not Educated?

No one is saying that. I agree with the points made earlier in this thread about many refugees actually having good careers like being doctors, nurses, etc.

Why dont you use your so called education in your country?

I have. You think I came straight here after graduating or something? That's not the case.

You have all the skills, you cant use it for the benefit of your own country.

I wouldn't say that I have "all" the skills, but I can certainly use the ones I do possess for the benefit of both Canada and my home country - from within Canada. Canada recognized this, hence why I was able to come in via economic stream.

Why don't you stay in your country and make it great?

I've noticed that you haven't answered any of my questions to you. So I'll tell you what - I'll answer this if you answer one of mine. Until then, you'll have to wonder. Specifically, this one:
