Anyone here got their PR cards yet?

I think they're still processing the ones from the end of May - it's going to be a 50-60 day wait per other forums

My tracker was activated on June 9th, 7:17 PM ET. Hoping to get the passport tomorrow and do landing the next day. Will keep it posted here.

In my case also same thing happened, the Canada Post lady scanned both the envelopes together. The next update was when the item processed at Ottawa [My application was approved on Friday on the CIC website, got the email on Saturday and on Tuesday evening Canada Post tracking is updated as "item is processed at Ottawa". Got the passport back on Wednesday].

Its not normal, but just a mistake by Canada Post. Is your application approved? If so, then the passport shouldn't take long.

Anyone recently did flagpole landings on any of the Niagara Falls bridge? If so, can they share their experience?

How do you know? is there any way I can speed up the process. I have to go to the US next month to visit a family member, but I'm not sure if I can use the COPR to board the plane.

Yes, I think so because when I search it used to show "item accepted at Waterloo"

You cannot use the COPR to travel on a commercial carrier (plane, cruise ship, bus, whatever). You can use the COPR if you drive into Canada yourself (rental car is OK).

You can also apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document if you really need to fly back

I have no idea how long that takes.

There's a forum that discusses PR cards - you can request for a PRTD or drive back into the country

I did
1. Took bus from Toronto to niagara.
2. Walked from the terminal to the border - you need to pay 50c and hen you walk across the bridge to the United States.
3.In the building the officer hands a flag pole letter and you walk back.
4.The Canadian officer reviews your passport and copr and gives a yellow slip and tell you to go to an adjacentish building where you give the yellow slip, flagpole slip and passport with copr to the officer.
5.You wait till they call your name
6. The officer asks you if you've committed any offence and if you have any dependents - they ask you to write no on the copr and ask you to initial as well as sign and date the bottom of the copr
7. They sign the copr and stamp your passport, cancel your visa, staple the copr without your passport picture
8. They confirm your address and then tell you to expect in 2-3 months and then they welcome you to Canada
