Sharing my experience here, as it may help others:

EcoPR: Jul 21
GU1: Nov 2
GU2: did not get one
PR Card: waiting

VO Montreal

As many of you here, I was checking the Application Status tracker daily, on the hopes of an update. As of Nov 15, I was getting an error message when trying to log in. I thought it was a problem with the portal, so I waited a day and checked here. Since noboy was saying nothing, I called IRCC and they confirmed that the PR card was sent on Nov 13 and 14 (dependants and mine).
Today I could log in the application status tracker portal and the last update date is still Nov 2. The status still shows as "in Review with IRCC" and I have not received any notification about the card being sent.
Hey, i got GU1 on nov 2 as well and no GU2 as of yet. U think there’s a glitch or they forgot to update?

I think you are not looking at correct place for GU, those status updated are seen on GCKey portal when you link your PR card application to it - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account/link-paper-online.html

Application tracker or portal where you upload photo and address wont give you status of PR card.

Strange.. in the status site (https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/mycic/home), the last update I had was in July, when I received the EcoPR.
In the applicaition status tracker there`s an "updated" date in the top of the page - where I am assuming the GU appears.

Also, someone commented in this forum that they did not receive any updates/email and the card just appeared in their mail box.
I am guessing there`s some scenario(s) where the system doesn`t send a notification.

I don`t think they would "forget" to update, but I think it`s possible that in some cases the system doesn`t follows the "happy path" and some events are not triggered.
Try calling then to see if there`s any update.

Have you linked your PR card application to GCKey ? - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account/link-paper-online.html

Pls note, I am talking about PR card application , not PR application (link which you shared)
