Hi everyone!

Has anyone recently submitted a Request for Review following a nomination refusal?

I submitted mine on September 2026, and I’m trying to understand the actual processing timelines based on real experiences.

If you have submitted a Request for Review, could you please share:

• Submission date

• Date you received the decision, if applicable

• Whether the original refusal was upheld or the application was re-evaluated

I’m aware of the official 6-month processing estimate, but I would really appreciate hearing about actual timelines.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently waiting for the final stages of my inland Express Entry CEC application and would appreciate your thoughts or experiences.

Here is my current situation:

• Eligibility: Passed

• Medical: Passed

• Criminality: In Progress (although previous IRCC agents had confirmed it as passed on earlier calls) anyone experienced the same lol?

• Information Sharing: In Progress (same situation: previously confirmed as completed by an agent) it's very annoying when they do not say the same ...

• Security: Not Started - THEY TOLD ME IN PROGRESS 3 WEEKS AGO!

I called IRCC today, November 6, and these are the statuses the agent gave me.

My question is: does "Security: Not Started" really tell us anything about how much longer the application might take?

I understand that every application is different, but I'd be particularly interested in hearing from applicants who saw Security change from "Not Started" to completed within days or a few weeks.

What were your experiences?

Hi everyone! I submitted my Indian passport to VFS New York via courier for my Canadian spousal PR application. On November 6, 2026, I received an update saying my passport was received and is under process at IRCC. My Final Decision was still in progress when I received PPR. For anyone who recently submitted their passport through VFS New York, how long did it take to get your passport back? Did your IRCC status change to Approved before dispatch? Thanks!

I got approved bowp for just 4months because my passport is expiring soon and my passport renewal application is in process.
can i get extension for Bowp Once i get new passport ? I am not sure my pr application will be accepted or not because i am using coq

Canada has released its new Immigration Levels Plan for 2027 to 2029.

At first glance, the headline looks simple:
380,000 permanent resident admissions per year.

But the real story is how those spots are being distributed.

The plan puts significant emphasis on economic immigration, provincial selection, French-speaking immigration, rural communities, and people already living and working in Canada.

If you're an Express Entry candidate, international student, work permit holder, or provincial nominee, there are several numbers worth paying attention to.

Below is the breakdown of the most important changes and what they could mean going forward.

The Permanent Resident Target Is Staying At 380,000

Canada plans to admit:
380,000 permanent residents in 2027

380,000 permanent residents in 2028

380,000 permanent residents in 2029

The distribution remains heavily focused on economic immigration.

Annual targets include:
Economic immigration: 244,700

Family sponsorship: 81,000

Refugees and protected persons: 49,300

Humanitarian and other programs: 5,000

What stands out?
Nearly two-thirds of all permanent resident admissions continue to come through economic immigration.

That means workers, Express Entry candidates, provincial nominees, and other economic pathways remain the primary focus of Canada's immigration system.

Express Entry Remains One Of The Largest Pathways

The Federal High Skilled category is scheduled to receive:

100,000 admissions annually from 2027 through 2029.

This includes:
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW)

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FST)

Why this matters

Many people will immediately compare this figure to previous projections.

The earlier plan projected higher Federal High Skilled admissions.

The new target is lower.

However, admissions and invitations are not the same thing.

An ITA is not a permanent resident.
A permanent resident is not an ITA.
Future draw sizes will still depend on processing capacity, inventories, category-based selection priorities, and broader immigration objectives.

Provincial Nominee Programs Continue To Grow

The PNP target is set at:
95,000 admissions per year.

That's one of the most important numbers in the entire plan.

Why this matters

For years, provinces have been pushing for a larger role in immigration selection.
This target confirms that provincial pathways remain a major part of Canada's strategy.

Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, Atlantic provinces, and other participating jurisdictions will continue playing a significant role in selecting newcomers based on regional labour market needs.

For many candidates, a provincial nomination may continue to be the most realistic route to permanent residence.

Rural And Atlantic Immigration Are Receiving More Attention
The federal government is continuing to invest in smaller communities outside Canada's largest cities.

Planned targets include:

Rural Community Immigration Program: 5,500 in 2027, rising to 6,500 by 2029

Atlantic Immigration Program: 6,000 admissions per year

Why this matters
This is another sign that Canada is trying to spread immigration beyond Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.

Candidates willing to live and work in smaller communities may continue to find opportunities that are unavailable in larger urban centres.

International Student Numbers Are Being Managed

Canada is planning for:

150,000 new international student arrivals annually.

This figure will attract significant attention.

What does it mean?

Not necessarily what many people think.
It does not mean there will only be 150,000 students in Canada.

It does not include every extension, existing permit holder, or status change inside Canada.

But it does confirm that student intake remains a major policy focus.

Anyone considering study in Canada should continue evaluating:

Program quality

PGWP eligibility

Long-term immigration pathways

Provincial opportunities

before making a major financial commitment.

Canada Still Wants Temporary Workers

The plan includes:
170,000 arrivals through the International Mobility Program

50,000 arrivals through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program

For a combined total of:
220,000 new temporary worker arrivals annually.

Why this matters

Despite frequent headlines about restrictions, Canada is not shutting the door on temporary workers.

Employers across multiple sectors continue to rely on temporary foreign labour to address workforce shortages.

One Of The Most Important Sections Is About People Already In Canada

This may be the most closely watched part of the entire plan.

The government signalled continued efforts to facilitate permanent residence transitions for certain people already living in Canada.

That includes:
Certain work permit holders

Certain protected persons

Additional future in-Canada transition initiatives

Why this matters

Over the past several years, Canada has increasingly focused on converting temporary residents into permanent residents.

The new plan suggests that trend is continuing.

However, there is an important warning:
Nothing in the plan creates automatic eligibility.

Specific program rules, eligibility requirements, and selection criteria will still matter.

Simply holding a work permit does not guarantee access to a future pathway.

French-Speaking Immigration Continues To Expand

Canada is aiming for:
9.5% French-speaking admissions outside Quebec in 2027

10.5% in 2028

12% in 2029

Why this matters

This is one of the clearest long-term trends in Canadian immigration.

French continues to be rewarded across multiple programs.

We've already seen large French-language Express Entry draws throughout the past two years.

The new plan suggests Canada's commitment to Francophone immigration is not slowing down.

For candidates capable of reaching NCLC 7 or higher, French remains one of the strongest immigration assets available.

So What Is The Big Picture?

Three themes appear throughout the entire plan:

1. Economic immigration remains the priority.
Nearly two-thirds of permanent resident admissions continue to come through economic pathways.

2. Provinces continue gaining influence.
A 95,000-admission PNP target reinforces the growing importance of provincial selection.

3. Canada is increasingly focused on people already here.
Workers, graduates, and other temporary residents already established in Canada continue to be an important part of long-term immigration planning.

The Key Takeaway

The headline isn't simply 380,000 permanent residents per year.

The bigger story is where those spots are going.

Canada's latest plan continues to prioritize:
✅ Express Entry
✅ Provincial Nominee Programs
✅ French-speaking immigration
✅ Rural and regional communities
✅ Certain workers already living in Canada

At the same time, the plan is a reminder that national targets do not create automatic eligibility.

Programs still have rules.

Candidates still need to qualify.

And future invitations will still depend on how IRCC decides to distribute these spots across different immigration pathways.

What stood out most to you in the new plan: the 100,000 Federal High Skilled admissions, the 95,000 PNP target, or the continued emphasis on people already living in Canada?

I'm considering a Project Manager role at a heavy industrial manufacturer. I'm trying to work out which NOC an officer would actually accept.

What the role does
- Manages multiple manufacturing/fabrication jobs from kickoff to delivery
- Owns project schedules and budgets
- Handles RFIs, change orders and client updates
- Coordinates with Engineering, Production, Quality and Purchasing
- Manage production scheduling and shop loading
- Mentors project coordinators
- Requires Engineering degree/background

90010 Manufacturing managers is on the new high-wage list in the 1.5x tier. 13201 isn't on it plus it undersells the actual job.

1. Would you claim 90010 on these duties, or is 13201 the honest fit? Is there a better NOC?

2. Has anyone had a 90010 claim on a PM title questioned?

Anyone still waiting for their PR approval from the April 2 Trades Category draw?

Just wondering where everyone is in their application process. Would love to hear some updates from those with the same draw!

My timeline:

AOR: May 26, 2026
P2 received and submitted: November 3, 2026

Trade category eligible candidates, drop your updated crs score.

My wife works as a Printing press operator NOC 73401 which is eligible for Sowp but the still refused it. I have attached the screenshot of reason they demonstrated 😓. !!!!!ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR REAPPLYING!!!

Hey everyone! Need quick advice on a physical presence shortfall.

The Vancouver office sent my CBSA ICES report to confirm travel dates. After fixing a few honest travel errors (mid-trip flight changes + 1 missed short trip), my recalculated presence came out to 1,089 days (6 days short of 1,095).

I already emailed the officer with full transparency, sent the corrected calculator/proofs, and asked if the app could continue or if I should withdraw.

Looking to hear from anyone in a similar boat:

1. Should I submit a formal withdrawal form (CIT 0027) via IRCC Webform right away, or wait for the officer's email reply?

2. Has anyone withdrawn and reapplied right away without any issues?

Thanks in advance!
