Express Entry – 14+ months, Review Required since Aug 2025 – Looking for similar experiences
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for people who had a similar timeline or situation.
Here are my details:
● Program: Express Entry (French category)
● AOR: May 9, 2025
● Current processing time: More than 14 months
● Eligibility: Review Required since August 2025 (still in progress)
● Criminality: Passed
● Security: Not started
● Medical: Passed
● Background: In progress
● GCMS notes: Requested more than 2 months ago and still waiting.
● MP contacted: Twice, but they only confirmed that my application is still under Review Required.
● Multiple webforms sent: No change.
I’m honestly exhausted and don’t know what to expect anymore.
Has anyone had a similar file with:
● Eligibility under Review Required for many months?
● Criminality passed but Security not started?
● More than 14 months of processing?
If yes:
● How long did it take before you received a final decision?
● Was your application eventually approved or refused?
● Did anything help move your file forward?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thank you.
