Can we send an email to the minister? Our VO has been unresponsive and our MP apparently cannot do anything so I can’t think of someone else to contact

Hello,
I was reading through the 2021/2022 posts in this thread and apparently most overseas applications were finalized in less than 8 months, even though there was covid!! What has happened since then I don’t get it?

Honestly I don't know. I can't help but think there is a quota allotted to this class and they just have to stick to it. My application will be 50 months tomorrow and it's still waiting
So it's not what anyone can explain. I just wish I can take my mind off it and focus on something else however I can't because family is involved
It is well

Influx of applications both for protected persons and others like people that got PR through the medical pathway. The increase in decisions during the COVID period meant that a lot of refugees became protected persons and applied for PR too and included their dependents outside Canada.

I think that everything has eased off and processing times have started coming down. Overseas dependents of protected persons’ processing time has dropped to 47 months from 48 months. It used to be less than 40 months until it grew exponentially. I see it dropping further with time because asylum seekers aren’t crossing borders anymore. A lot of the refugees in Canada crossed the border from the United States .
