How can we identify the PR CARD status ? Asking this question as I couldn't find this anywhere and am awaiting my PR CARD.
I did my landing and My PR application status is currently showing as "Final decision Your application was approved".
You can log in your CIC account, and use "add (link) your application to your account" tool in the page to link your pr card application. select “Permanent Resident Card” as the category. (not the “Permanent Resident”).
If you don't know the application number, you can select “Family Name, Given Name and DOB” for the first dropdown of “Application Detail” to link it.
good luck!

Hi all, the below is my time line and I have just checked my PR card status and it seems that my family has just received the ghost update, and I hope that the photos re-submitted are ok and hear the good news soon (approved sign in the CIC account, as I saw somewhere in the forum that even if you get a ghost update, you can still be re-requested for photo again..I hope this doesn't happen.

My question is how long will it take for the status (submitted ) to approved in the CIC account usually after the ghost update?
thank you!

Soft landing: Oct 19
Photo request: Early Dec
Photo submitted/reached CIC office on : Dec 19, 2018
Ghost update: Feb 5th 2019 (today)
