19 Months!!!!!
We got out MP involved twice! Both times it did move our application (only possible to do this if you are in Canada) but it's just ridiculous that the regular processing times are 10 months yet it took over 19 months and still not complete. We also need the passport back from CBSA. First they said show us the portal and we can give it back, now it's show us the eCOPR and we will give it back, but it may take 3-4 months to return your documents. You can travel without your PR with the help of the travel document but you CANNOT travel without a passport. I feel like IRCC and CBSA is just a big run around. Does it really take 19 months to process some paper work? Does it really take 3-4 months to literally sign a price of paper and hand someone their passport? NOPE!!
