I think this is the right place to ask my question can anyone please let me know for PR renewal we need to submit Passport Copy, do we need to send first and last page or we have to send all the pages of Passport showing all the in and out stamps.
The page with your info, any page stamped and any pages with visa. Literally anything that had been used, you have to submit. Also, if you had two passports within 5 years, you have to submit both with all the pages needed.

My application status has also changed to Decision Made. But when I further open the details, it still shows that “We started processing”.... how do I know if the cards have been mailed or not yet? And how long it takes to get the cards after the decision made status?
Did you try linking it online? Mine was DM and I was so stressed on what decision they had. If you managed to link it, it will show you the decision that they have.

Re123 thank you for instant response so I need to submit only the pages which are used for visa stamping and exit entry stamps and no other pages which are not used or which are blank. Can you please tell how to link it online.

Yes, pages not used or blank does not have to be photocopied.

You can link it on ecas. I was having a hard time linking it before but it turns out that in the "Place of Birth", you have to follow what's in your passport. Just a head's up just in case you come across this problem like I did. Also, I think you can only link it when they send you the AOR. That's when you get your application number too.

  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on November 23, 2019.
  3. We started processing your application on November 23, 2019.
  4. Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on November 26, 2019. Your Permanent resident card will be mailed to you or if quality assurance is required, made available for you to pick up at an IRCC office.
  5. Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on November 28, 2019.

If they sent it to local office, they'll probably email you. Otherwise, it will be mailed to you. You can check it too online.

You NEED to send ONLY Biodata Page of the Passport as per application instructions.... and don’t need to send ANY other page of the passport (no visa pages no stamped pages)....

IRCC instruction guide plus the application checklist very clearly state what is required to be sent... just follow the guide and checklist exactly as it is.... don’t complicate the things by yourself by putting uselessly extra information that has not been asked (my suggestion).... this is what I did and several others on this thread as well....
