2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[PR waiting]

So they asked me for police clearance from two different countries last year. (Countries that I used to live at before) My security clearance will still be an issue?

No it’s not criminality, they do by themselves too it’s called security

By the way, they have already done that, and it was a comprehensive screening when we applied for protected status. I don't see why they redo it again.

If it’s then, don’t know why.

To be honest, I don’t know why they are doing it again. I think it’s because it expired.

My MP said:
As per IRCC, all assessments have passed on your file except the security assessment. There is a note from Aug 26, 2025 that your file is still pending the security assessment. As this process is conducted by third party partners, the IRCC is limited in what can be done when they are waiting on this assessment to complete.

My security started march, how long would it take? Been more than 6 months

You have to account for time you were waiting in a queue for your file to be processed and some countries are better and faster with sharing information with Canada than others.

Sometime It takes longer when u live in gulf countries or from there. Specially Saudi doesn’t give security clearance and had to do with third party.

Irrelevant man sorry

Does anyone know what was the latest day in March that received P1 according to this forum? I know that they may not be processed in exact order, but at least it could give us an idea if they passed the first week of March..?
