In the Gcms application, (what program would you like to request from?) should I put permanent residence or family class?

There are no set rules on when IRCC contacts dependents of protected persons overseas. However, people can give you their experience to help you make judgments. In my case, my family abroad was contacted exactly a month after the processing of my application started. It was via email.
Processing of my application started 7 months after submission.

Different people here have different experiences as to timelines. Meanwhile, my family is still stuck overseas 3 years after my application and almost 2 years after I got my PR.

All the best.

Please I need help when my dependents will be connected and also from your perspective how will be their processes steps.

Thanks and I appreciate your help.
Hi. Me and my daughter are also dependents of my husband as protected person . He received a eligiblity letter last Feb. 2024, until now no updates. On my part, i check my status online, saying these: " In Process"
1. We received your application for permanent residence on November 4, 2022.
2. We started processing your application on February 24, 2023.

I'm just wondering why me and my daughter didn't request biometric and medical yet.

same thing happening to me, the principal applicant was told that a final decision has been made, but still hasn’t gotten pr till now I guess they probably want to stick to their new 29 months processing time. And they need to also transfer your visa application to an overseas visa office, after the principal applicant get his copr. This type of application on protected persons is a stressful and lengthy process I applied in 2022 September up till now I haven’t gotten a biometric or medical request, I haven’t even gotten a message of them saying your file has been transferred.

Hi everyone,
I appreciate your guidance and sharing your experiences.
My wife applied for pr in Canada on April 2022 as a protected person, and I was included in her case as a overseas dependent, she and my two children received they pr on 2024 April, I was asked for biometric and medical on 2023 oct and I did both at the same time ( both of them passed) eligibility and security is in progress.
Do you know how long does it take usually to pass the eligibility and security?
My visa office is Ankara.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your response, but what should I write in my web form? I sent a gcms note yesterday and I’m going to send a web form but I don’t know what should I request?
