I have a question that: How long does it take to receive the decision after the status shows "Decision Made" ???
I checked on 22 February 2023 and the status showed "Decision Made" however the status remained unchanged as of 21 February 2023 which was a letter asking me to sign up for Pre-Arrival Services.
If someone else has been referred for resettlement to Canada by UNHCR, please do share your experience.
By the way, I got BIL, a Loan Form, and 13 other forms to sign and return on 09 February, and medical instructions on 10 February; all the forms were completed and returned on the same day on the 9th, while biometrics and medical were completed on 13 February 2023

Honestly, I have never seen a case processed in less than a month. GAR takes 30+ months usually. Congrats on being one of the very people, dude. You will probably be asked to submit photos in a couple of days so they can issue a one-time travel document. if you need an exit permit they will arrange it for you and you will get tickets.

One Photo was taken during a medical exam at the UN medical center, one photo was taken during biometrics, one photo was attached with all the forms,
I can't pay for flights, they are aware I am totally penniless, for air tickets, and land transport during departure and arrival, I already signed a loan form, which I would have to return to the Canadian government in 36 months.
Yes, everything will be supported by the UNHCR/IOM you don't have to pay for anything. You should wait for further instructions from UNHCR or IOM.
Unfortunately, There's not much info on how things work for GARs , I can tell for PSR If you get 'Decision Made' on the portal, it's just a matter of weeks before you arrive in Canada.
