Hi. I did a soft landing on August 12,2019. And I'm unable to link my PR card application to my CIC account until now.
It says the record was not found.
I'm entering all the information correctly. I read somewhere in other threads that our City/Province location has to be complete with both City and State Name (Hyderabad, Telangana in my case). I've tried all possible combinations, still no luck.
Is there any other way to check the status?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi guys,
To share with u guys about my pr renewal timeline:

We received your application for a permanent resident card on August 7, 2019.

We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 13, 2019.

We started processing your application on August 13, 2019.

Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on August 15, 2019.
Congrats!
So you were able to track all these updates by linking your application to the CIC account?
Or were these Email updates?

Hi @itguy29
I have exactly the same timeline as yours. My card was also "sent by mail on August 2, 2019".
But I have not received yet in my mail box. Did you receive yours?

My location is London ON. I am wondering where did they send from.
It usually takes at most four days for all my letters from within Canada.

En...
they usually send it to your mail

Hi,

My current timeline for PR cards renewal is
  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on August 6, 2019.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 12, 2019.
  3. We started processing your application on August 12, 2019.
till now no more updates nor asked for any documents.. and upon phone calling they couldn't find any further update and they just keep mentioning as it exceeded the processing time they will submit status update which get a reply in 4 weeks!!

any idea or help in the current situation what can be the problem or is it normal?

FYI my residency inside Canada around 760 days and PR cards already expired by the time I applied and I applied for myself and family also I submitted just the requested documents in the checklist, nothing more.. thanks!

also anyone who submitted on the same timeframe and still stuck in process?
thanks

Hi,
Nowadays, it takes 8-12 days from the "in processing" to "decision made", so don't worry. You need to wait until your status changes to "Decision Made". Please note that the timeline reported in the IRCC website is the AVERAGE processing time.

Thank you for the reply .. it shows on their processing time that it's currently 15 days which should be done by now .. any idea how to know if the delay is due to 2nd review or sent to local office? do they send email or found this info on mycic account?
hopefully to get good news soon.

and congratulations for getting your PR cards!

Usually if your status remains in "Decision made" more than 3 business days, your application probably is selected for the second review.

Would anticipate that you could end up in secondary processing given that you just met the RO. Could be 6+ months.

Wow.. that's so worrying, any clue that I reached that stage like email or update on the mycic or ecas or through phone?

hopefully this is not the case..:(

Given that you only stayed in Canada for 760 days and didn’t meet your RO when returning to Canada it isn’t too hard to imagine why you may need secondary review. All it does is prevent you from leaving Canada. Otherwise you are free to live your life. You are still during normal processing times but if it exceeds normal processing times would expect secondary review.
