The PR Card would be processed by CIC after you complete your landing.Hey there,
A quick question:
will CIC process the card ONLY after we link the application with our cic account?
Linking with mycic account would only provide updates about that application which is already processed by the immigration Officer when you landed.
So even if you don't link the PR application, application would be processed and you'll still receive the same.
And yes if the CIC needs anything they'll mail you on your provided email address. Also you can call CIC for update on your application, it takes around 40 mins of waiting before you get connected with the customer service.
