First PR Card not received

[Siddharth86]

No, the clock starts when you become PR not when you link your application. Linking is option and does not impact processing of your card. good luck !

@CNP got it, thanks for clarifying. Once I linked the PR card application the status is showing is submitted. Would you also be able to guide as to what this means and what’s likely the next step that IRCC will take?

Your PR card application is in process. Just need to keep an eye on progress through linked application

@CNP The linked application for PR Card on IRCC still shows 'Submitted'. Its been 22 days since i linked it. I am not planning so send a solemn declaration to request for the card that was never received. Hope that' fine? Also, can I send this declaration from outside Canada and share a local address in the declaration? Kindly advise. Thank you.

SD can be sent when 6 weeks have passed AFTER your card is mailed out to you - https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=720&top=4

You need to wait for your card to mailed to you. Best luck !

Plenty of cases where PR cards were sent but never received. Happened with my own dependent too. Just call IRCC and see if they sent you a PR card. If they did so and you never received at the address, ask them to send the re-request form again. Your PR cards will take 3-4 months from the time of re-request to reach your address.

Hello,
I'm in a same situation, I received my PR card along with spouse n a kid, but 2 kids PR card never received since Jan 16 (ECoPR), for one kid they asked to upload a new photo online, I did the same day, but no result, I raised the web form and I got the reply today that one kid application is still under process, and the other ones photo send to their mailing address ( I have already uploaded but probably they didn't notice).
What you suggest in this situation or anyone in this same boat... please advise

Their PR card can take longer. Are you tracking PR card application? You can also call IRCC to get updates on your dependent's PR card.

How do I do the tracking ?? I cannot call because I am currently out of the country

Check out various tutorials on how to do it. Pretty straightforward.

I also didn't receive my pr card yet. My profile shows card dispatched on November 23, 2023. Its more than 12 weeks now. Called IRCC, they are asking to raise solemn declaration. I dont know if that works or not? Any one experienced same? Does solemn declaration work?

Hi did you send solemn declaration? How long did it take after you sent it? I am in the same boat. Thank you!

if their PR cards were dispatched and never delivered, there's no option BUT to send the solemn declaration. It can take between 2 months - 5 months (depending on what IRCC tells you). A year or two ago was a very different time. Find relevant threads on the topic or ask IRCC.

thank you! It says 12 days processing so I just want to ask other’s experience if this is true. I have not seen a lot of people post about it. Thank you again!

I wouldn't trust on the listed days. When you call IRCC, they typically inform you of what month they are currently processing - this helps setting up the right expectations in terms of delivery.
