Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[AndresReyesDev]

Indeed, Provincial Nominees who are not under Express Entry (Non EE for friends) now show a processing time of 20 months. However, it clearly states below: the time counts from the moment we receive the application. This means that if you submitted your permanent residence application BEFORE the update date, the valid processing time is the one that was in effect when you submitted it. Until yesterday, I believe it was 11 months.

Why is this important? Because for us, the Non EE, the process is the same as the regular Express Entry process after receiving the AOR, and the AOR itself takes 6 months.

Worst news ever 20 months processing tim. Lost all my hopes today

You should call them. It is unfortunate you have to go through this. Never give up hope.

I have waited 11 months for PGWP to be approved. 2 webform raised and finally i got it , good thing about it is i got 3 years from date of approval and not from applied date. that gave me 4 years worth of PGWP , enough time to plan for getting PR

 

[av_ganesh]

i got the mail from IRCC for final processing and asking me to reply to their mail with some information for creating PR portal login.
My timeline is simple applied May 29th and got the request in less than 8 months time.

Lot of steps skipped for me , as i was in CANADA before my 18th birthday and never stayed outside Canada for a month. no Police verification and BG checks.

Processing time for Non EE PR application is now showing 20 months!
Does it even make sense to spend nearly two years in limbo, constantly fearing that a small mistake will result in my application being refused?

Looks like non-EE PNP is now the last priority for IRCC especially the outland applicants.

Hi @Akbar527
What happen to your WP any update.?

You ordered GCMS notes

Not yet. Since my PR application has already entered the 13th month (as per previous processing time) so I was hoping that I shall receive COPR this month instead of WP (my other application for work permit is in process since June 2024). But now everything looks completely uncertain, so shall order for GCMS notes next week.

it's very unreasonable to be honest if I can find a way to withdraw and change my nomination to EE I would!!!

Folks, a further explanation says: This processing time is how long we expect it will take us to process an application if we receive it today.
It’s based on

• how many applications we have in our inventory
• how many people we have processing this type of application
• how many applications we expect to get

It also includes the time you need to give your biometrics.

This does not include those who applied before 2025.

ChatGPT answers for IRCC processing delay.

It is possible that IRCC is managing its resources and processing timelines strategically due to quota limitations and operational priorities, but it's difficult to confirm their exact internal processes without an official statement. Here’s an analysis of the situation based on the information you provided:


Quota-Related Delays

• The annual PR quota(number of permanent resident admissions) set by the government for each year can impact processing timelines. If IRCC has already reached the PR quota for 2024, they may:
  • Delay issuing eCOPRs (Electronic Confirmation of Permanent Residence) for applications that are otherwise ready.
  • Focus on completing earlier-stage processes, like background and eligibility checks, while temporarily holding back the finalization of some applications to manage workload and quotas effectively.

May Applications and Security Checks

• If IRCC is issuing eCOPRs for earlier applicants (e.g., those with AORs in April), they might temporarily deprioritize certain steps for later applications, such as May applicants, to:
  • Prevent overwhelming their system with a high volume of eCOPR issuances at once.
  • Ensure smoother transitions into PR status by staggering approvals in line with operational capacity and policy targets.

Security checks could be used as a means of holding applications at an intermediate stage since:

• Security screening often involves external agencies and can naturally take time.
• By holding applications in the security stage, IRCC can regulate the flow of applications moving toward finalization without appearing to pause processing entirely.

Balancing Priorities

IRCC’s workflow likely aims to balance:

1. Quota adherence: Ensuring PR admissions align with yearly targets.
2. Operational capacity: Managing resources and personnel to handle volumes efficiently.
3. Equity among applicants: Prioritizing earlier applications to ensure fairness.

If your application is in the security check stage, this might align with IRCC’s strategy to:

• Ensure background processes are completed but delay the issuance of eCOPRs until they clear their backlog or adjust quotas for 2025.

What You Can Expect

• Once the current eCOPR backlog is cleared, IRCC may accelerate processing for May applications, especially for those already in advanced stages.
• While delays due to quotas can seem frustrating, having your application reach the security check stage suggests it is actively being processed and will likely progress once IRCC clears their current bottleneck.

Tips Moving Forward

1. Monitor Trends: Stay updated through forums and groups where others share timelines. This can provide insights into how IRCC is handling applications for your cohort.
2. Webform Inquiry: If you suspect unusual delays or need clarity, you can submit a request via the IRCC webform.
3. Stay Prepared: Ensure all additional documents or updates IRCC may require are ready to avoid further delays.

While it’s speculative, your theory about IRCC managing workloads through staged processing aligns with how such organizations operate under quota constraints.

I applied in aug 2024 but haven't got any update after that means i'll also have to wait for 20 months ?
this is so sad
