2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

Hello everyone, just an update about my father's application, which we submitted on January 28, 2025. We received the biometric request today for both the applicant and the dependent, along with a letter regarding a pilot program. However, I'm not sure if Pakistan is included in that program — and if it's not, I'm unsure why the letter was sent.

If the dependents are in Canada, does it make there processing faster?

Not sure TBH, as for us dependants are back home.

I don't see any problem, as you can sponsor them and should be quick compared to sponsoring dependents from outside.

I hope so, my lawyer said the same. Let’s see how it goes. Thank you for the response.

Interesting. Care to share what the pilot program is about? You didn’t get an AOR? Thanks for the update

LOL that’s exactly what I’m wondering too! The letter mentioned that, under the pilot program, applications are processed faster than the normal timeline. We also received the AOR yesterday along with the biometrics for both the applicant and the dependents.

This is a positive development. I hope they get to the rest of us soon. Thanks.
