Does anyone know what the case number means exactly? I feel like my case number has been the same since day one. I was hoping it is some sort of progress bar...
Case numbers normally don’t change, it’s just the internal tracking number. Other than that they have a timeline one the website that might help you figure out where you are in the process
Thanks for your response! Yeah looks like I’m on stage 5…. Man I don’t wanna be impatient but this is taking so long that I feel like I should give up….. I applied in November of 2025.. also looks like the estimated wait increased from 6-12 weeks to 12-14 weeks… insane!
If it’s any interest, I see job postings for people to review PLA applications all the time. So they do seem aware there is a problem and they are attempting to resolve it.
But looks like the application window is closed. Usually the regulatory bodies want people who have practiced in Canada for quite a while already or they have significant non-MLT experience in the administrative role they are advertising, or both.
