There is no information on my mom's application after Sponsorship approval. I so much hope she gets her PR as her medical insurance is up for renewal and its a lot of money.

I renewed twice for my parents already for 4 months. PR will take longer for sure.

Hi all,

I had received the medical request for my mother's PR application and we just completed it.

However I am just not able to find the application online to link it, any help on this would be appreciated.

Amazing!
What's the processing office, or should I just assume it's Mississauga?

Yes, it is Mississauga.

Very informative article. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/pgp-intake-2020-to-2022.html
Finalized applications and decisions on applications received from 2020 to 2022
The vast majority of applications received from the 2020 intake and just over half from the 2021 intake had been finalized by August 2, 2023. Only 1% of applications received from the 2022 intake had been finalized by August 2, 2023. The vast majority of finalized applications received from all intake periods were approved.

Table 13. Number and proportion of applications finalized as of August 2, 2023, by intake period

Finalizations / Intake	1	2	3	Total
Finalized	83%	53%	1%	42%
In Processing	17%	47%	99%	58%

Received PPR on Monday. How do we submit the passport? Can we go in person to Vfs or we need to book two-way courier service ?

Can you please share your timeline? Thanks!

Hello,
Need some advice regarding PCC from Punjab, India. We need to get it done from local police station or passport office for the parents in India.

That it's going to be a long wait for many of us as just 1% were finalized by August. Plus given the higher volumes for 2021 the pending inventory is quite high which does not help 2022 applicants.

Current processing time shows 21 months. So we should be expecting almost another 12 months wait on average

It is difficult to say if it will be 21 months or more. I suspect it will be more (reasons stated in my previous response) unless they decide to prioritize PGP applications which is rather unlikely. The text published states:"Processing times in a given year are calculated based on 80% of applications finalized in the last 12 months and are not necessarily applications received in that year. Furthermore, the start of the processing time is determined when the application has been deemed complete as opposed to when the applications is received."
