On February 8, 2022, the Government of Canada announced the launch of the new online case status tracker which will allow permanent residence applicants to more easily check their application status online. The new system has been launched under the Government’s recent announcement on modernizing Canada’s immigration system to improve client experience. For now, only the permanent residence applicants in the spouse, partner, and dependent child categories will be able to use the tracker. In the upcoming months, additional applicant groups will also be able to use the tracker.
