PR CARD RENEWAL 2025 January
- Thread starter ghost105
- Start date
Hi, I submitted mine on 5th January, still waiting for an update. I was able to successfully link my application in the account after confirming the application number with IRCC's helpline support. The application shows the date of submission as 17th January, coincidentally the same date that I was able to link it on.
I am not sure if there some glitch in the system that prohibits the linkage in first few days or there is actually a logical reason why it happens. Because initially when I did not have my application number, I was not able to retrieve too through UCI. Then one day I called IRCC to ask for support and my application number, tried after 10 minutes and it worked. But next time when you contact IRCC, confirm your city of birth on file (any spaces, commas etc), just to rule out any discrepancy.
Continue to post any updates here, I am sure it helps others too.

I think you should try both and check if either works. I know entering just the city makes sense on one hand, while on the other hand the information shall be entered as it appears on your documents. IRCC would be the right department to give you the exact procedure.
I did try inspect as well, out of curiosity and lack of patience (lol), and it shows complete with no remarks. But looking at other members' remark on the forum, I am not sure about its credibility.
ECAS is for paper - on gckey - CIty of birth has to be exactly (incl caps/lower), as it appears on COPR
completed means 'submission completed' - it shows that for all after submission
old pr card? like from 5 years ago? I didn't know they still keep that on the account...
what date you applied for renewal?
you mean received date inside gckey? its 19th the same day I liked the application to gckey and from past messages I noticed it just captures the same day as you linked - how about you?
I cant track my old card - I tried that but as it was issued 5 years ago and that account is showing as revoked when I try to login - I see similar messages for other people when they tried the same thing,
I think yours was more recent due to name change I guess
