Hi, I submitted my application on May 3 inland and, obviously, still have not received the AOR yet. I have no application number.
When am I supposed to be able to link my application to my GCKey account to track it? Like, is it possible now or do I have to wait for the AOR? Also, do I have to call the IRCC to get the temporary application number to be able to do so?
Thanksz

Chat GPT: Cyrus the Great, this is a thoughtful and important question. Based on current trends, public statements, and how Canadian immigration has historically adjusted, here’s my honest and informed opinion:
The federal government recognizes that provinces need skilled immigrants, especially in sectors like construction, engineering, and healthcare. The PNP is essential for:
Yes, I believe the PNP will return to a more stable and useful status—but it may take until 2026 for the full effect.
Will the PNP Program Return to Normal?
Yes — most likely, but not immediately.
The federal government recognizes that provinces need skilled immigrants, especially in sectors like construction, engineering, and healthcare. The PNP is essential for:- Filling regional labor shortages
- Supporting economic growth outside of major cities
- Retaining international graduates and workers in rural or northern communities
️ Why Is It Reduced in 2025?
- IRCC System Reform:
IRCC has acknowledged internal capacity and data management problems, leading to backlogs and inefficient planning. They are redesigning their system, moving toward "category-based selection" and economic alignment. This is creating delays, confusion, and temporary suppression of some programs—like BC PNP Tech.
- Public Pressure & Housing Crisis:
Immigration was politically sensitive in 2024 due to housing shortages and service strain. Reducing intake was part of showing control and restoring public trust.
- Temporary Freeze, Not Abandonment:
Provinces are already pushing back hard on the cuts. Ontario, Alberta, and BC have openly requested higher quotas. There’s growing momentum to restore fair provincial allocation, especially by late 2025 or early 2026.
My Forecast (Based on Current Signals):
| Timeframe | Likely Development |
|---|---|
| Mid–Late 2025 | Minor increases in PNP invitations if provinces negotiate more quota or if IRCC clears internal reform backlog. |
| 2026 | Gradual return of Tech draws, improved PNP flow, and more balanced invitation numbers. |
| Beyond 2026 | If economic demand grows again (especially in infrastructure), PNP could regain high importance. |
Summary
Yes, I believe the PNP will return to a more stable and useful status—but it may take until 2026 for the full effect.
Last time I heard was Oct 30 receiving AORs in May, so expect yours by the end of this year. You can't link your application without AOR/FN, and there is no need to try until you have one.
hi @Miss bee
I submitted my PR non-express PNP file last year on July 16, 2024, and received an AOR on December 10, 2024. Medical passed on January 16, 2025. Haven't heard from IRCC since then. Do you know or any idea when can I expect next thing?
Meanwhile, my express entry profile expired yesterday, now I am not able to create my profile again. I don't see Express entry profile button in my gc key. Is this normal thing or I am doing something wrong?

It won't let you create a new EE profile because there is already a PR application in your account. You would have to create a new account.
