Need Advice - PR application for protected person with family members outside

Jul 17, 2017

Hello everyone,

I have a difficult situation. I would like to share my experience and get feedback from experts on my case. I am a protected person and my wife and daughter are outside Canada (in Jordan) and they were included with me in my PR application. I received the AIP letter on 12 Sep 2016. Below is the timeline for my PR application:
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on September 6, 2016.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on September 8, 2016.
  3. We started processing your application on September 7, 2016.
  4. Medical results have been received.
Below is the timeline for my wife's PR application:
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on September 6, 2016.
  2. We started processing your application on September 7, 2016.
  3. Medical results have been received
Because I have been almost 2 years away from my wife and have not touched my daughter yet (18 months old), I sent a letter to Immigration through my MP's office requesting urgent processing of my file but CIC refused.

My questions:
1- How long is it expected for me to get my landing interview ?
2- After I get my PR, how long is it expected for my wife to receive her PR and come to Canada ?
3- Can I do anything to accelerate the processing time ?
Thanks
