PR based upon PNP International Post Graduate stream Non- Express Entry
I applied my PR based upon BC PNP International Graduate stream on Sept 2024. got the AOR 12 March 12, 2025 and Biometrics updated as passed in system on July 22, 2025.
After finishing the Bio-metric my background step was showing in progress.
Note: My background check is from three countries—Pakistan,Qatar and UK.
Recently on Jan 13, 2026, I got an update as “Background verification status has been updated to in progress”. I also got a system update that says the last updated as March 24, 2026.
I’m waiting for COPR now but it’s been 20th months since I applied. It takes 13-20+ months for the Application.
AI overview:
For 2024, the total processing time for the **BC PNP International Post-Graduate (non-Express Entry) stream** involved two main stages: roughly 3 months for provincial nomination by BC and subsequently around 13–20+ months for IRCC permanent residence processing.
Some of my class fellows already got it around 18 months after Application submission and the had one country for background check.
Any thoughts guys about whole situation when to expect COPR?
