2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Flowercita]

When u applied u will get confirmation with that u can work its against government regulations they cant laid off

My friend from QB worked for the goverment and she applied 6 months before the expiration date. Finally, even with the supposed implied status what means you can continue working with only the acknowledgement of reception, well even with that the gov. sent her to lay off. So they dont honor their own rules. It´s better apply with enough time before exp. date. And be aware layoff is short money, so avoid that.

 

[Twhy?]

I applied for PR same date as you, and already applied and got my work permit. Better safe than sorry.

The Pilot program don't help much. What they do is collect info of your family members so they start processing their PR inmediately after yours is approved. I Heard a Lot of complaint about the Pilot that is most an ilussion. Not really helpful. If somebody got their PR quickly or treated as urgent those are special cases. Not the rule.

Why does IRCC make people wait so long after giving them protection status?





The long delays are destroying people’s mental health. Depression, anxiety, and stress are becoming normal for those stuck in this endless process.





If someone has already been granted protection status, why does it still take so many years for them to get PR?





Today at the clinic, I met a man who has been in Canada for 6 years. He applied for PR 3 years ago, and he’s still waiting. His wife and kids are back home, and the separation is taking a huge toll on him. He came to the walk-in clinic just to get a doctor’s note to submit to IRCC in hopes of expediting his case, because he’s struggling with depression.





It feels unfair and inhumane. People who are already recognized as needing protection should not be left in limbo for half a decade or more. The wait destroys families, careers, and mental health.





Has anyone else here been through the same kind of wait? Did you try to expedite your PR due to health or family reasons, and did it actually work?

Yes unfortunately I have seen many people getting depressed in a very bad way, my roommate is almost 60 years old living for almost 6 years away from his wife and waiting for almost 4 years on his PR. It is just ridiculous, we came to this country to not lose our lives, but instead we are losing our brains. What a funny situation!!!
Keep fighting and I wish all of you the best!
