Guys, if your file is in Vancouver office and not moving. We need to approach this differently.

We should tweet, send emails to minister and bring it to media attention. WE NEED TO MAKE EFFORTS.

Please inbox me your contact number or email. We can create a group and start talking.
It's been 20 Months and I don't see any hope in next a couple of months as Vancouver office has hardly processed any file.

My timelines:

File Submitted : Oct 21, 2021
Bio : April 2022
Medical : May 2022
PCC : June 2022
Additional documents : Aug 2022
Eligbilty Passed : Sept 2022
File moved from Mississauga to Vancouver : Nov 10, 2022
Medical : May 2023 (2nd time)
PPR : Waiting
They just did the medical in May 2023 what do you mean that their file isn’t moving? They are now in line for landing since May 2023. This is very normal. They should receive virtual landing in the next month or likely 2 at the latest. Your PGP application will likely be processed in under 2 years which is much better than most applicants so I’m not sure what ground you have to complain. I think you need to research other offices and then you will think Vancouver is processing faster than you think.

I am also in same boat, my parents file has also been transferred to Vancouver office since April 2022, they are really slow.
Posted processing times for PGP is around 2 years and posted processing times are just averages and often not as accurate as you would hope. Most PGP applicants are being processed between 2-3 years so anything under 2 years would be considered fast processing.

My file is being processed at London office. No news since August 2022. Medical exam was passed on August 27, 2022. I expect I might receive request to redo medical exam at the end of July.
There are long periods of time where you hear nothing when it comes to PGP. Processing times are often 2-3 years. Yes I would expect you will receive another medical request soon. Your processing times are comparable to other PGP applicants. PGP is low proportion compared to other categories of immigration so has a slower processing speed.

Hello, I know that the CIC are working on the 2020 applications. And nothing has been open since.

I have a few questions:

1) Do we know when the new application process will begin?
2) I would like to be prepared with all the documents to submit for when the quota opens again, do we know what documents are required?

Please let me know.

Thank you

Hi Everyone,

I have noticed an update on my parents file this morning. it shows :
  • We are reviewing the results of your medical exam.
I have not received a medical request but we applied my dad's super visa again as his passport expired.

Did they connect the medical from super visa app to PGP? and would i be getting a separate medical request for my mom or should i be getting it done upfront?

Thank you for your time :)

Hi, Can I check my application through Application status Tracker? Does PGP applications support that Tracker? I have successfully linked my application through GCKey but does not shows all the information. I would like to check through this Tracker. I am unable to link my application through Tracker and giving me an error. Anyone has successfully done that?
