Same brother came in 2018 as a 17 year old kid, my brother had to sign a form saying he will take care of me until I become 18 since then been through every immigration step from study visa to study permit extension to work permit then work permit extension then worked hard in skilled trade got paid minimum wage because " you need help with your PR so we cannot pay you like others" applied for PNP waited 11 months for approval then got Permanent Residence took me 5 years and 8 months to be here, while I meet people who came to Canada 2 years ago got PR through some sort of sponsorship and then start trash talking about how their country was so good and how Canada is trash.
These people have no idea what it means to get Permanent Residence, how much hard work you gotta do for little to no money, how much money you had to spend to be here and always getting treated like a third class citizen because you are not a PR or Canadian Citizen.
Totally understand your struggle brother. Been in the same shoes. Came into this beautiful country in 2019 as an international student. Took 5 years 4 months 16 days exactly to become a PR genuinely. A lot of these people who got it "easily" doesn't understand nor value the sacrifices that genuine applicants like us had to make. In the end, just blessed and happy that we all made it!

Originally applied Aug. 5, 2022 by mail, docs online Oct. 2022, latest update I've seen is April 2024, and one background check that has been outstanding for ten months holding up our application. Checked again this morning, same old BS saying its in progress. Seems to be zero accountability with these clowns in Ottawa, hideous communication channels, and no one (CSIS, CBSA, IRCC) can honestly tell me why it's taking so long to finalize our application.

If applicants understand where the issues are, it will create less tension.
