A lot of folks who have applied after me have received their PAL but not me.. I got MP 3 months ago and nothing after that. I recently got my PNP supported closed WP ext approved. Does WP ext application go thru similar checks like PR application? Like eligibility, Background check, security etc?
Eligibility - I think for sure, but not sure about BGC. If the WP ext also goes thru Eligibility / BGC - I don't know why I haven't received PAL on the my PR yet (coz its PNP supported in my case). I also think that there 2x or maybe 3x number of folks in NON-EE stream compared to EE and they (IRCC) are processing application/applicant who are at 11~12 months from their date of AR - like we see many of March 2022 folks getting portal etc, and in the coming weeks, we may see folks from AR - April 2022 getting their portal. I know there are still some folks (or perhaps many) from Q4 2021, going beyond ~13~14 months of time and are still waiting, they must have some serious mental strength within them, going this long, the most stressful thing is to have temporary status maintained, and even though if temp status is valid for couple of years, it still feels like that time is less, I hope their journey comes to end (and mine too). Anyways, staying positive for now.
