PR Card Renewal & New - 2022 Processing Timeline

[First PR Card]
Hi all. I uploaded my photo on the portal in December last year when I also got my e-copr. My address was 'accepted by ircc' but my photo was under review. I've been checking almost every week until yesterday (February 22) I was so surprised that I was asked to upload a photo again! So I did that and I can see my photo being uploaded but everytime I refresh the portal it's asking my to add photo again, refresh, photo is there, refresh, photo is gone. I tried calling ircc but what could we expect of course calls won't go through. Has anyone experienced this? I was hoping that my PR card was on the way already and then there's this.

yes, I also sent a package to the same address by UPS. But looks like UPS is delivering packages to the New Waterford office and saying that the Sydney office is temporarily closed. I checked a few other forums, packages are re-directed to the New Waterford office.

Which courier did you use? and can you check the Proof of Delivery and see if it mentions New Waterford?

Hi @pakimom ,

Thanks for the updates. Just for my information, does your application delivered to the Sydney office, or is your courier service redirected to the New Waterford office? You will find the exact info on the proof of delivery document from Courier. I used UPS and they are redirecting the package to New Waterford office.

Hello everyone,

I submitted PR card renewal application Online on 29th of December 2022 and haven't received any acknowledgement or update on it since.
I called IRCC today and the agent said they don't even have my application in system.

Is it normal? or do i need to submit an application again?

Even though I sent it to the Sydney Office ...I just saw the tracking and it says that it was delivered to New Waterford.

Yes... as my work involves travel to US. Though I do not think urgent processing may have made it faster. As I see @Adoragreen timeline similar a week ahead from me. Also I submitted my spouse's application online "without" urgent processing 4 days later than mine.. on 8th Jan and I was able to link her application on GC Key on 17th Feb. Waiting for her approval this else next week. Will update if we get it.
My spouse PR Card renewal is approved as well and the timeline is ;

- Application submitted: Jan 08, 2023 (submitted online using the PR card portal)
- Able to link the application to the IRCC portal: Feb 17, 2023
- Application approved: Feb 23, 2023

A final decision has been made. Please see the final decision below.

Latest update:
Final decision - February 23, 2023:Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.

We mailed your permanent resident card to you. Your card can take up to six weeks to arrive.
