Some help with PR application times please
Hi all, so I have my NS provincial nominee certificate and I’m ready to submit my application for PR however I think I may have made a massive oversight with the application times though!
Its a paper based application and when I check online at the current wait times it says its 58 days via the following search. WHAT ARE YOU APPLYING FOR = PERMANENT RESIDENT CARDS.
DID YOU SUBMIT A PR CARD APPLICATION OR SOLEMN DECLARATION= NO IM WAITING FOR MY FIRST CARD
that calculates to 58 days. Is that the correct search?
or should I be searching under economic class then provincial nominee then selecting paper based application? This calculates to 19months, surely this can’t be right.
sorry if this is awkward to read I’m on my phone.
cheers
steve

If you're applying for Permanent Residency through the paper based route, then select that.
If you're already a Permanent Resident, and either didn't get your PR card when you landed, or have lost one and need a new one, select new PR card.

It is if you already have Permanent Residency status and are waiting for your PR card, then that's the right processing time. But it doesn't sound as though that's the case? If you've yet to submit your PR app, and you're applying via a paper based PNP, then yes, the 19 months is correct.
HTH.

Currently in the UK with flights booked for August.
With one thing and another we have managed to overlook the processing time and mistakenly thought it would be approx. 2 months up to 6 months max!
How wrong we were!

Yeah that confused us when we were applying, it's 18 months ish for the paper based application and 6 months ish for express entry. Do you meet the eligibility criteria for EE? It might still be quicker for you to withdraw and reapply under EE if that's a possibility for you?

Also under our PNP we were eligible for a temporary work visa while waiting for PR, is that an option for you?

Re: Some help with PR application times please
What PNP stream did you apply under?
What happened to your previous LMIA, did you go out and work on it? Just wondering if perhaps EE is an option instead of paper based PNP.

Re: Some help with PR application times please
What stream have you come in on?
I came in via AIPP and arrived on a TWP, applied in March for PR and received it in April, so four weeks only. I "landed" at the office in Halifax and now just waiting for the card to come in the post.
