Time line for Permanent Residence application for Refugees

[Fadros]

Hello Everyone! I am a July 2019 applicant and I just received my letter of approval. My letter says: "The IRCC office in ETOBICOKE will contact you regarding the finalization of your permanent resident application. IMPORTANT: You and your family members, if any, will be required to present original identification document(s) to the Canada Immigration Centre at your appointment" Do you know how long does it take for them to send me the appointment information. I also heard that due to COVID they are not having personal appointments, is this information real? I would appreciate any information on what is coming next.

Thank you!

In my case seems like they extended the estimation bar to exactly 2 years since i applied.
I also got my eligibility letter in Dec 2020, but not updated in the gc key account.

Hi,
I applied on 5 Sep 2019. I gave fingerprints for police clearance in Sep 2020. I have received eligibility letter in Dec 2020.

However, they have not updated the police clearance and eligibility in GC Key Account or ECAS.

My bar was 84 percent yesterday and today it is at 70% in other words they have extending the time by 6 months.

Same happened to me, Projected completion date was March 23rd now it's July 23rd, Bar went from 91% to 76%, in other words, it went from 20 months processing time to 24 months. I saw an update and I thought it's the DM or something then I saw they increased the estimate time
Thing is.... Whether they changed the bar or not, I guess they would have NEVER met the old date. I think they changed it because people were getting nervous and used to call them a lot because they reached 100% so they wanted to cut this hassle.

My concern is that if the projected time is July, Copr will be in September? Card by Christmas?

I'm Sorry but these people are not working properly and they are a shame.

Maybe another extension will be added by then! Probably the PR application should be combined with citizenship!
