You people will let other people have heart attack. Review what you want post before posting
It’s true that the processing time was updated to 26 months yesterday morning (Wednesday). I check it all the time and I checked yesterday as well after reading the message from this forum. We’re on this forum since long time. Even though everyone has different timelines but still it gives hope to know the approximate processing time. Processing time is always fluctuating and being an applicant from February 2023, I have seen it going from 22 months to 29 months and then back to 25 months due to change in the system for Quebec and outside Quebec option.

no update even for January - February applicants yet.
I haven’t received anything so far, I’m February 2023 applicant. My security and background is not even started yet. Haven’t received eligibility or pre-arrival so far. Called IRCC several times and they require nothing from my end since they have everything on the file. Biometric updated, PCC submitted, AOR received May 2023, last correspondence was September 2023. It depends on the case officer when they open the file. Once you start getting updates its just a matter of two months. (Im from Etobicoke and Mississauga location since day one). We’re in 2025 Quotas now. Hoping for the best. I understand the frustration everyone is going through. Patience is the key.

Hello everyone, new member here ..all frustrated with the waiting game! Im a protected person residing in Canada.
applied online January 8, 2023 (no dependents and it’s Mississauga/Etobicoke office I believe )
AOR Oct 8, 2023.
Eligibility approval January 4, 2024.
Pre-arrival services letter January 12, 2024.
Assessment complete : November 29, 2024.
Nothing since then , all my updates disappeared in my Gckey account so it doesn’t show annything except for “application is processing.”

I called IRCC last month the agent told me the assessment is complete and my file is “advanced” ( not quite sure what she meant by that ) but never heard anything from them after that.
