Time line for Permanent Residence application for Refugees

[Mom31]

Mid may applicant. Bar was 100 percent. Now changed to 85 percent

Same here was 100% and today it’s back to 83% and say 4 months remaining and 29th May instead of 29th January. What a service for a in Canada PR they need 24-30 months !!!

Yeaaaa so unfair. they treat refugee applications like a..... don't wanna say this word aloud. I think we are in the same timeline with you. lets stay in touch.

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.

I agree. I feel like I'm a persona non-grata in Canada with these crazy timelines. Wait for the interview, then wait for the hearing, then wait for a decision, wait for a dm, then Copr, then card, then citizenship... And I'm lucky that I don't have overseas dependants, otherwise I would move to Caribbeans and settle there. I feel very bad for all the people here that have their families outside Canada. I wish you all guys to get decisions asap and finally reunite with them <3 <3 <3

They just changed my bar too, it was already at 100% now at 86%. I’m assuming they wont hit any of their targetd with working from home so they had to push the deadlines

Received approval letter on 5th December, they said that the Vancouver office will you to finalize the application, so far nothing... any one in the Vancouver area? When did they send the copr after approval?

Even they’re trying to play the estimated time game with me, my due timing moved from 3rd June 2020 to 3rd October 2020
That’s change the delay from 8 Months to 4 Months
I feel bad actually about my overseas family and all the applicants having same issue like me, dreaming of finalization of all this weird process

From what I see in multiple posts today about reverse the percentage bar a little to the back; my suggestion there are decreasing running for the number of staff whom currently working in addition to the jam applications still under process
even tho PR card current processing time 118 days was 45 to 60 days !!

Just be hopeful and patience guys, I hope the successful soon for everyone

 

[lost2011]

that's really stressful. I hope we all get done soon with this waiting

that's really stressful. I hope we all get done soon with this waiting

what else we can do only waiting with patience ! We still have to go far away... DM,COPR , PR Card , lot of others processing for overseas dependent! And then after 3 years again for citizenship!

I think what's written in this link is a reason why the extended the completion dates. they will be processing tens of thousands of new system work permit applications.

Nothing good is ahead.
Later it will change to days.
Then this message comes:
