Protected Person PR Application By Mail vs Online

[Zulubia]

My friend was recently accepted as a protected person. We were wondering if it would make a difference whether she applies for PR through the online portal or by mail since the online portal is still in beta phase. Any ideas?

It doesn’t matter, but if you do mail it get a good courier and make sure you pay for there signature. You would want tracking with signature

Hi Zulubia,
I'm accepted as a protected person recently. I'm trying to apply online but I don't find the link where I can apply my application online. Can you please guide me?

Thanks

Hello,

Honestly I am not sure which way is the best. I became a protected person in August 2020 and applied for PR by mail (at that time the option to apply online wasn't available). I received my PR in August 2021 so it took exactly 1 year.
My friend became a protected person in February 2022 and applied for PR through online portal. She received the acknowledgement of receipt in March and nothing else yet. I think the online portal may be better. The processing time also depends on your country of origin and number of dependents who are outside of Canada. For example they were processing Afghan citizens who had dependents in Afghanistan faster than other people just to help them leave Afghanistan faster.

I tried to share but didn't work.
The maximum character length is 27 characters. Doesn't allow me to type the complete name of Company, employer for example.

I was accepted as a refugee/protected person in January 2022 and applied for PR by paper/mail in February 2022 and got acknowledgement of receipt in March 2022 and no information since then. I briefly worked for an immigration law firm (aug '21 to Dec '21) that processed a lot of refugee clients and they were still applying by paper until the end of last year to ensure all the information was provided because the online system was still new and had some problems as M.Elena mentioned. Hope this helps

Hi, in case we apply online do we need to print all the documents and send via courier too?
