USCPA MRA Applied ON CPA timeline

[Jennycheng]

Hi guys, I have landed in Canada and applied for CPA Ontario via MRA.
I applied on January 20. 2025, and added additional information.
CPA Ontario confirmed that all documents received on March 10, 2025, and it's in review now.
Since then, no update.
Everytime I called them, they told me a minimum 3 months waiting period. I do believe it's much faster than three months! As I have seen those mega timeline data on reddit. Why it's taking them that long? Is there any way to accelerate the process?
I also see that many people go through MRA program only took less than one month to be admitted.
What's really going on with CPA Ontario?

Not really an immigration issue. Ask on an accounting forum. If they said 3 months then no issue.

I have seen many post in this sub sections regarding the MRA application. It is a part of the post-immigration life. So it is not correct to say it's not an immigration issue.

But if they told you 3 months, and it hasn’t been a month since you submitted application then there is no issue to bring up on this forum.

It would be nice if you can understand the nuance. What's said on the official website and what's really going on.
What's said on the official website is 3 months.
But what's really going on is that 80-90% of the time, it's taking less than one month.

Please be understandable if not helpful.

The delay you're experiencing with CPA Ontario could be due to the volume of applications or the specifics of your case. While the standard processing time is around three months, some applicants may take longer. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to speed up the process other than follow up periodically for updates.

As you said yourself, 80-90% of the time. So there’s still the 10-20%. Am just guessing here, but maybe your application is in these 10-20%

“What's said on the official website is 3 months.”

What we’re understanding is that you’re jumping the gun

Some get processed faster , some slower
