Its still quite a bit better than 135 that it was a few weeks ago, I think they update it every Tuesday, hopefully keeps trending downwards.

Am surprised its not dipped further though, there must be hardly any cards to process currently, no?

Yeah, every Tuesday since two weeks ago. As for the time, should be some time before 4.30pm ET (yes, I’ve been refreshing the webpage throughout the day today haha).

The biggest drop is for renewals though - down from 248 to 174 days. If it were my case, I’d be as happy as a clam.

To be honest, I think they must be swamped with all the extra work they now have due to covid-19.

Congrats!

Can you please advise, on the following?

1- Should I apply for my wife's SIN (she is a housewife)?
2- My father applied for PR back in 2000 and I had a SIN number, so while applying I should choose "update of SIN" option?
3- I have a job offer on which my name and my relatives address is mentioned, Can I use my relatives address and when I have my own address, can I update it?

Please advise? Thank you

I’d take this info with a grain of salt. When I landed back in March the officer told me the waiting time was 6 weeks. Guess what - never happened. Other people who also landed in March were told different times, like, anything from 3 weeks to 3 months, depending on the officer. Well, they are still waiting for their pr cards, too.

The official processing time for new pr cards published on the ircc website was indeed 135 days as at May, 17. I bet this is where your officer got his numbers from.

However, the waiting time has since been updated, twice. First to 113 days on May, 19 and then to 108 days on May, 26. As you can see, so far it is gradually going down. Just keep checking the official ircc website every Tuesday, it’s the only valid and up to date source of information in regards to processing times of pr cards:

AH i see! Thanks for your prompt reply and kind guidance! Cheers!

Yup when I landed I was told ~1, the immigration officers might not have most up to date information.

They stopped because a PR card is essentially a travel document so you don’t need the PR card unless you are planning to travel which isn’t common at the moment.

Has anyone here applied for their health card in Service Ontario? Will they accept the confirmation of PR letter they sent thru our email? Cause all requirements should be original not printed. Pls share your experience here

yes and yes

If you already have a SIN that means you are a PR and can’t apply for EE. You’d have to relinquish PR first. Yes your wife should apply for her PR. She needs to file taxes too. You should use your own address if you aren’t living in an AirBnB or monthly rental.
