I saw that the online applicant 30 july received their copr! I have also seen the paper based applicants of july also received their copr !
IT IS INTERESTING!
while I do not know any applicants in the time of 15may- 30 june who received even his medical!
It is not a first come first serve!
The process between 15 may-30 June is stopped without any reason from more than 1.5 months ago!
IRCC is not responsible about it! What we can do with this unfair systems!

Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster

Thanks for keeping me semi-sane during this time. My timeline:


4th June 2021 -> Documents received in Sydney
4th March 2022 -> AoR and request for biometrics
8th March 2022 -> biometrics submitted
17th March 2022 -> pre-arrival letter

@sarakn I am in that group, anxiously waiting for a medical request...

So I just received ATIP notes. Everything passed but eligibility and security not started. Due dates are NOVEMBER 2022! The 2 year anniversary of the application submission and the expiration of my CSQ! I’m so livid I could spit right now. Seeing others get theirs so quickly and not being able to do anything about it. It’s criminal seriously to take our money and mess around with our livelihoods. I am missing my 20th high school reunion this weekend. I missed my brothers funeral. I can’t work because BOWP eligibility hasn’t begun yet when I applied in JANUARY! And no wonder considering PR eligibility hasn’t started yet. I see why now some people just do things under the table and skirt systems when things are this broken what the heck can we do? I’ve actually been volunteering my services since I can’t work for pay but don’t know how long my savings will last. I have a family! This is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to me and it shouldn’t even be this way!

41 months passed since IRCC has received my file.

Yesterday I got a response from my local visa office after my 3rd consecutive email. (they haven’t even replied the other 2 before that)

The application is in process and please rest assured that you will be advised as soon as possible when the case is finalized or if any action is required on your part. Please understand that sending repeated enquiries consumes valuable time and resources which could be used to process applications. Our office cannot provide you with updates on a regular basis. Thank you for your understanding.

This was my 10th email from June 2021 and my file is still waiting there “untouched”.

This is totally unacceptable. While people get their PRs within a year for the same program, why we “outlands” have to wait extremely long times.

And why nobody speaks about this craziness louder!

Is it really normal to wait 4 years to get PR after you’ve already waited many years for CSQ?

How people, ministry, member of parliaments etc. keep their mouth’s shut against this unfairness and dysfunctional immigration system?

There was no express entry stream when I’ve first applied for QSW program in 2014.

4 years for CSQ + 4 years for Federal = 8 years

I sent my files when I was 24, now I am 32.

I would easily apply to a dummy college with a low IELTS score and at most spend around 30k$ to get PR. And I would’ve been a Canadian citizen for years.

But instead I believed in the immigration system of Canada.

Just saying I feel you and I’m not even Outland. Even if we say anything it goes on deaf ears. It’s insane.

Also the time it takes to send you that stupid response they could have processed your application. “Rest assured” my arse! There is no rest when your life is totally screwed!

It is unfair!
So bad!
I saw that most of the July applicants received their copr or at least medical!

I know it is frustrating as hell. My application is inland and taking a long time. Got my AOR February 3rd and silence ever since. Sick and tired of them saying that there is nothing wrong with my application but no movement whatsoever. If there is nothing wrong with my application, than it should reach finalization.

Hi all,

In February, IRCC requested for some police certificates. We have 2 months to provide these. We submitted them within 1.5 months via webform. We do not have the option to upload it from the linked application. However, we kept receiving the following email even after we have resubmitted the documents and provided all the information as per application form/passports for 3 times. We have no clue what information is not matching. Tried calling IRCC for weeks (8am, 2.15pm, 2.30pm) without luck! What should we do?

I don’t have an answer but if you are comfortable enough in French, have you tried calling the French speaking line of IRCC? Usually the wait time/an operator availability was better
