Vancouver office seems closed, or our files has been assigned to those officers in Vancouver officers who had resigned or laid off
there is no reply or update since march 2023.
finally we have to unite and file a case through lawyer to get an update on our cases. totally unfair all fees paid and no update.

This is quite common in Canada. My own application for PR was sent to Buffalo and they transferred all our files to Sydney NS and something that took 1 year took 4 years.

My timeline is very similar to yours. No update from Vancouver office since our file moved thereHello friends,
I was invited to apply for my parents PR and received my file number /sponsor approval on March 17, 2023 but haven't heard anything from IRCC after that. I haven't paid the right of permanent residence fee for both of my parents , only paid the application Processing fee when applying. Is that what causing the delay? I know people who received the invitation with me , their parents are already here. Any information will be very helpful. Thank you

Hi All,
My in-laws' PR application was finally approved today with IRCC dispatching their passports with one-time visa (I know it was approved because GCKey account says so with details of their one-time visa which is valid for 1 year from the date IRCC received their medical results). You can find the detailed timeline in my signature, but I wanted to shed some light on another topic, which seems to be of common confusion/concern on this forum.
My in-laws received passport submission request on Oct 23, 2023. At that time, they were in Canada but were planning to leave for US in a week's time. For family reasons, they could only extend their trip for a month as they needed to be in the US by US thanksgiving (i.e. around Nov 20). We decided to take a chance and go for virtual landing. We sent a note to IRCC, requesting virtual landing for them on the same day. However, IRCC never got back to us asking for follow-up information. Around Nov 10th, we realized that we wouldn't have enough time to *initiate* virtual landing process, so we decided that the in-laws would go to US asap, and send their passports to VFS for stamping. We sent the passports to VFS around Nov 12/13 and after some missing documentation which we separately provided, they were forwarded to IRCC on Nov 22 for further processing (last day of their 30 day window - phew!!). After a silence of about two weeks, we received a notification that IRCC has sent the decision envelope back to VFS. Their GCKey account show application was approved and shows details of one-time visa as well.
Hope this helps someone who's in similar situation.
