[NOV2018_INLAND]

Has anyone received a response to an ATIP/Privacy request or even a web request lately? If so how long did you have to wait? Im talking about requesting GCMS notes or answering a specific question concerning your application.

6-8 weeks

thanks to IRCC's inconsistency, I am applying to renew my PR card today (it expires in June this year)

I did not find any official document describing equivalency of "status" between ECAS and the new tracker. However, paper applicants have clearly described that ECAS status changing to "decision made" coincides with the new tracker's LPP marked as complete. Given that multiple paper applicants have corroborated this correlation between ECAS and the new tracker in this forum - I would safely make this assumption for online applicants.

Just spoke to IrCC agent which was useless as always, but she said system does not show DM status, just in progress. All my LLP is completed for 3 weeks now. So I am not that sure about this.

The 'good' news on that front is that PR renewal is pretty quick - it only took me 7 days to get my new card

A brotherly advice, don't apply PR card renewal online. You'll add another thing to worry for monthsssss if you take this path.
Go for paper application.

My PR card renewal application (online) took 6 months to complete. And those in the similar period applied on paper got their PR card in 1-2 months.

Can confirm. I applied online and it has been 71 days (exceeded normal processing time). There’s literally zero updates. Not even an AoR in my case.

Oops. Didn’t see these posts and applied online since I had everything readily available.

I’ll go back to praying my citizenship comes before PR card thank.

I applied for one on Nov 3rd 2022, never received it (applied under privacy act).

Applied for another on Jan 4th 2023 not received either (paid 5 dollars under information act).

Although today I got an update on my profile. I never received the test invite email from IRCC. I emailed them yesterday and they sent me the publicly available link yesterday. Today there was an update to my profile. My test window which was originally Feb 3rd to Feb 23rd, has been moved to Feb 6th to 26th. This is the first I am hearing of people's test windows being moved around. But here we are.........

If you're not planning to travel outside of Canada, would recommend to not do it. You don't need the card to stay or work.

Agreed - I stuck to paper this time given the horrendous experience with the online Citizenship app delays - surprisingly PR renewal via paper took all of 7 days
