Surprised by quick processing time.
Same time frame and circumstances when my wife received her new card at the end of July.

Conclusion: fill out the forms correctly with residency obligations easily proved and the service is fast.

Applied on Aug 14th 2024 (63 days as of 16th Oct)

Not meeting Residency obligations due to medical circumstances in family, falling short by 149 days.

Provided enough documents to support H & C ground.

Filed taxes regularly, maintained bank acc, phone line without any interruption for last 5 years.

Current PR card expiring in mid nov.

Contacted local MP and they got me back within 24h and gave honest feedback. They can contact IRCC, after the processing time is over(which is 65 days), but they can not influence the decision. Them contacting would trigger IRCC if file is not being taken care of, but they can not help overturn decision.

Inspect tool status: Completed
Updated at: 21 aug 2024
(But what I have seen with most inspect tool completed update is that it generally changes to Completed after 7 days of submission, but most of these people are waiting for card for over a month, so I am not sure if it is of any help or not.)
Rejection Status: Null

Awaiting IRCC's response. I will contact them on 65th day once again.

You can't really compare timeline of a renewal application that meets RO with a H&C application. H&C usually takes longer time to process and you need to wait.

Thanks for responding.

I anyways just wanted to share my timeline and any updates I may receive in future so anyone applying under H&C can take my situation as reference.

Echoing the observation posted by @YVR123, just to be clear you are aware, there is not much point in contacting IRCC 65 days after making a PR card application to inquire as to the status of the application. And in regards to an application relying on H&C relief for failing to comply with the obligations of a PR, in particular, there really is no point at all contacting IRCC to inquire as to the status of the application at such an early stage of processing. Other than PR card applications meeting the low-complex criteria, IRCC often takes longer than the processing time posted for PR card applications.

But it is likely, in particular, that an application relying on H&C relief will take significantly longer (at least a number of weeks) than the routine processing time (an H&C application is inherently NOT routine), and could be considered high complex resulting in a referral to the Domestic Network for additional screening, which in turn can result in adding months to the timeline.

So, if you learn your application is approved in less than, say, three months or within 100 days of when it was made, sharing that information will indeed be appreciated. That will be a fair indicator of what is possible. Of course it will not provide a reference for what any other PR can expect (other than, again, a reference to what could possibly happen) since H&C cases are so intensely fact-specific, how it goes being dependent on the particular circumstances in the individual PR's situation.

And, obviously, if in contrast you learn that rather than allowing H&C relief and approving the application, a 44(1) Report for inadmissibility is prepared, commencing the procedure for terminating your PR status due to the RO breach, sharing that information will also be appreciated . . . perhaps even more so because that seems unlikely (even though it is of course one of the possible ways this could go) and that would be an important illustration of what can be at stake for those who make a PR card application relying on H&C relief rather than following the conventional wisdom, which is to stay-and-wait until the PR has stayed long enough to be in RO compliance before making a PR card application.

Since you are only five months short of meeting the RO, and have submitted reasons supporting H&C relief, it seems unlikely your application will trigger the Report and inadmissibility proceedings, so other than expecting a longer than routine processing time line, the worst case scenario that is likely is a referral to the Domestic Network resulting in a four to six months, or somewhat longer, processing time . . . noting, again, that even though it seems unlikely, it is possible that IRCC proceeds with a 44(1) Report.

Good luck and please do return to update the forum about how this goes.

Thanks for being transparent about what I should be expecting. I thought I should be expecting a response/action from them as soon as the average processing time is over. But, over the call with an ircc agent, I got the accurate response stating I can not do anything, but waiting.

I will now be taking updates on weekly basis. I didn't take any updates until last week, but as I was approaching the average processing time(which I was considering a good threshold!) and thought I should take updates regularly. But, the agent, and your response makes it pretty clear as to what state I am in.

Yes, whatever update I will get, I will post as it should help people falling in similar situations(of course, each h&c case is diffferent, but they can be clustered within a dataset!) so that they have factual perspective.

I submitted my application on Sep 30th. The status on the portal still shows as submitted but my new PR card was in my mailbox today - haven't checked my mail since Sunday so might have received it earlier than today.

I did my soft landing in Dec 2019 and returned to Canada in Jan 2022, so cleared the residency requirement comfortably. I submitted my pay stubs and bank statements (Jan 2022 to Sep 2024) as primary proof of residence. I also submitted Notice of assessments and my utility bills as additional proof of residence.

I was prepared for the long wait of 70 days as per the average processing time but glad that this got over so quickly.

The PR Card online renewal is so fast.

My status :

PR Card Renewal Online - Applied 27 Sep, Mailed Oct 3. As mentioned by previous comments, the process is so fast.
I called IRCC customer service and got my application number but I am still not able to link to my GC Key.
The PR card portal still shows "submitted". I did not ask the agent about how to link to GC Key or ECAS.
The wait time is approx 40 min and I called at 3.00 PM EST.

For residency obligation for minimum 730 days, I put CRA NOA ( Notice of Assessment ) , pay slips and my condo rental lease agreement.

Travel History - I put in all the exact right travel (entry and exit ) dates as I am also preparing the application for Citizenship.

Photo -
For photo,
1. I made sure I got the right dimensions using https://photogov.net/ ( There is a 3hr wait for free photo if you are uploading through mobile pic taken for a physical copy of the photo if the studio doesn't provide digital copy)
2. I checked the properties of the image file on my computer so it matches pixel size ( 715x1000 and 2000x2800 pixels) and filesize( file size must 4MB or less)
3. I also trimmed the photo on the PR portal when uploading the image. The website gives options to put the face between two straight lines.
4. I also scanned the backside of the photo that shows the name, dob and photo studio stamp details.

Hello ShaexI

Thank you for your kind help, but I have tried several times but was not able to go through, may be because I'm not good in computering. So I did not get in.
