Here’s my latest update - logged into my account as I had hoped to get an update by the end of May given I received my PAL end of April and everything else has been completed. My application status had changed from submitted to profile updated.

Once I clicked that to view my full application status, I got this update -

Latest update:
Final decision - June 4, 2024:Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Not really sure what that means, possibly just final security has been passed or something and they are now onto the last stage of making the final decision.

Anyway I’m guessing it’s a good thing?! :D:rolleyes:

How long does it take to receive acknowledgment for the documents, I've submitted? Below is the current status for the ADR (Schedule A & Police report)
  • The additional documents you provided have been uploaded.
Medical and Biometrics done!
I think it took about 2 weeks for me! Everything submitted by Jan 30th, acknowledged Feb 8th and changed to additional documents are being reviewed on Feb 12th.

It finally happened…

My PR application was approved yesterday!

It feels a bit surreal after such a long wait and almost giving up all hope!

As I’m already in Canada the next steps are to register for the eCoPR portal. I received an email asking to confirm some basic details such as eye color, height, address in Canada, original entry date, full name as written on passport etc. And next steps after that are to submit a photo for my PR card.

Here’s my full self-employed PR timeline:
