New Permanent Residence Online Application Portal for authorized representatives

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will launch a new Permanent Residence Online Application Portal (PR Online Application Portal), enabling authorized (paid) immigration representatives to submit permanent residence applications (non-Express Entry) online on behalf of their clients. Following the soft launch and initial testing of the minimal viable product for clients only in March 2021, the PR Online Application Portal will be available to authorized representatives by September 2021.

Representatives will be able to use the PR Online Application Portal to manage online applications from a single account for multiple clients for permanent residence application streams, which have been paper-based. Paper applications will remain available for those who need an accommodation. The PR Online Application Portal will not be connected to the Authorized Paid Representative Portal.

To create a PR Online Application Portal account, representatives will need to provide information, including their membership ID number, business address and name, and they will need to upload a valid copy of an identity document (a valid passport, driver’s license or permanent residence card).

Canadian Federal Election Mean for Immigration

What Would a Conservative Victory in the Canadian Federal Election Mean for Immigration?

With the development of an accelerated processing stream for those who can afford it, wait times for immigration applications would be drastically reduced under a Conservative government.

In its Secure The Future election platform, Erin O'Toole's Conservative Party promises that "all earnings from this expedited processing fee would be used towards hiring additional employees to streamline processing wait lines even further."

According to the party, faster processing for individuals who pay for expedited service will also eliminate applications from the regular queue, reducing wait times for all applicants.
