Application sent in July 2020
Temporary Application ID received in January 2021
*silence for 3 years and 8 months*
Permanent AOR received in March 2023
With Permanent AOR I also received a request for a birth certificate. The problem is that when I linked my application, I realized that I could not add any documents online. I just don't have the add documents button in my account. And in general, there is no request for additional documents. Although the letter asked to send a birth certificate within 7 days. Has this ever happened to anyone on this forum?

In any case, I recommend that everyone who applied for this program try to get visas to other countries as well. I am currently waiting for a visa to Portugal. I have been waiting for a response from Canada for almost 4 years and it is unclear when it will end and what the result will be. You need to have a backup plan and not put your life on pause.
Indeed. Still waiting after 3+ years. Got a visa for UK in 3 months....can't wait any longer.
Yes, upload via webform asap. Sometimes they don't read those for quite a while but they'll see when it was added. I had the same thing with ours. They wanted an updated photo of the passport as the one they had was expired. But there was nowhere to 'upload' on the portal so we sent it via webform.
We learned this the hard way. We've been waiting since June 2021 and only gave biometrics in June 2023. Nothing since then. My husband and I put everything on hold and we're quickly realizing this is not worth it anymore. We're probably going to apply for a different visa somewhere in Europe as well, Portugal sounds great for freelancers and self-employed people though. Good luck to you!
it’s definitely a crazy amount of time to have your life up in the air. There’s so many things I keep saying to myself I can do once this finally comes through. It’s hard to plan anything in advance when your life is on hold. I’m sorry it’s taken so long for you! Sounds like a back up plan is the way to go.
For me I’ve taken the student path to increase my business knowledge of Canada and learn more about running a business here while I wait. My visa is up in less than 3 weeks though and I’ve had to apply for an extension while I continue to wait for PR.
It’s getting disheartening that none of the recent bunch of ADRs/medicals in December/January have had any further progress since. I definitely thought more approvals from 2020 would be coming in by now
