Yes! Write a letter of explanation stating that you have been living in Canada and are therefore exempt. Submit it via web form if there’s no place for it on the online portal. You can link it to your application and should get a response acknowledging receipt in 7-10 days (or at least I did). I...

Thanks for sharing!! It’s good to see they are paying some attention to this stream after all!

Thank you!! Now I’m back to checking my IRCC account obsessively for a decision lol. Ah wouldn’t that just be the way! It can’t be far off for you! All the best for the UK :)

Hi, for me there was a small link on my IRCC page right near the top after I open my PR application. I think it was right above Application status and says something like view online application or submit documents. I also submitted a letter of explanation via web form when there was no place...

Thank you!! It’s definitely a bit nerve wracking seeing you have a new message in your account at this stage haha. So excited to be reaching the end of this long journey :)

Hey everyone! Some good news today! I have just received my pre-arrival services letter :D Full timeline: Application received - 12/24/20 Permanent AOR + Biometrics request -5/12/23 Biometrics submitted - 5/16/23 Medical Request + ADR - 1/15/24 Medical Passed - 1/30/24 PAL - today I have a...

Congrats! Looks like things are really moving along for you! I also got the same request (-passports) and passed the medical + submitted everything back in January. No updates since. This is a common request, many in this forum have received & waiting times after for a decision seem to vary...

Congratulations!! That’s amazing news!! Seems like they are starting to speed up a bit :D

Congratulations!! I think getting the PAL is a good sign! Did you ever receive a request for additional documents? I passed my medical & submitted ADR back in January & still no PAL or final decision. Not sure what the hold up is? Possibly stuck in background check but really hoping to hear...

It does seem to be quite unpredictable in this category! Seems to be a bunch of us stuck in background check awaiting a final decision. Did they ever request additional documents from you or an updated background declaration or police check? Where did you apply from? Good Luck! I hope you get...

At the end of March.

Yes my application was approved on March 20th (shared my full timeline on this thread if you scroll back - took 20 days). I received my new permit in the mail 1 week later. Good luck!

Ah so exciting!! Huge Congrats!!! Were you also already in Canada when you first applied? Or did you apply from your home country then move over here? Asking as I applied from within Canada whereas it seems most folks have applied from abroad for this stream.

Thank you! Such a relief :D

Congrats! That’s amazing news!! Seems like they really sped things up for you in the end after making you wait so long initially!! I’m also applying from within Canada so I’m interested to see how long the portal stuff takes until eCOPR.

Just got my approval! No email yet but logged in and my application was updated to final decision: March 20th, 2024 your application was approved. Full timeline Feb 29th - Application submitted March 1st - Email, background check started March 4th - Email, eligibility started March 20th -...

A few recent applicants have been approved in 3-4 weeks, another took ~96 days (including giving biometrics). It seems to vary a lot but the current estimated processing time for *most* complete applications is 87 days although many can take longer. For me I had email updates within days, but...

Thank you! I haven’t received my final decision yet but based on others getting it soon after the BVL I’m hoping I hear within the coming days. Yes it seems that more complex applications can take a bit longer but hopefully you have some updates soon! The processing time has also increased to...

Congrats! 21 days that’s fast! I’ve just received my biometrics validity letter today (applied Feb 29th) so looks like my application might be almost done too! It’s great to see the faster processing times!
