PR renewal during Covid

[Bains87]

Thanks for the info! Lost my PR card, cannot imagine waiting 9 months plus on this more for citizenship to move to test taking and not being able to present my PR card (was lost). Worst they can do is reject my urgent processing request.

They have been very accommodating with accepting urgent applications, as long as you justify urgency and write URGENT on the package itself. To me having stuck in this no mans land with no PR and no citizenship itself is a genuine reason for urgent application.

What kind of cases qualify for urgent PR renewal?

Hi Daafi,

here is my timeline:

1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on October 21, 2020.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on October 21, 2020.
3. We started processing your application on October 21, 2020.

I don't remember when I sent the application - around the end of September, I think.
I received the card on Monday - Nov 02.

I actually sent 2 applications, the first one was a regular one as I didn't plan to travel any time soon. Then the situation in my family changed and I need to travel any time -- I have filled the new application, updated all my information, included the same proof of payment, added the information on why I need the urgent processing (I wrote a cover letter and attached doctor's notice describing the family member's situation and the urgency), I also added "URGENT" on the envelope.

I didn't actually have a travel document -- I explained that due to COVID I don't have that yet as the situation is changing rapidly.

If you already sent your application and didn't write "Urgent" -- I doubt they will process instantly. If that's your case, that you can send one again, as I did.

Hope this will help.

Thankyou so much. @popek90.
Here is my timeline to date:
Application received Nov 4
Processing Nov 4
Decision Made Nov 4

Do you think they approved the urgent processing? Should I be expecting the cards next week? I have to travel in less than 3 weeks...

Daafi - I am not an expert, but I'd say that it looks positive.

Here is info from this website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/apply-renew-replace/urgent.html

To qualify for urgent permanent resident (PR) card processing, you must be travelling within the next three months due to:

• a job opportunity
• your own serious illness
• the death of a family member
• work related to your current job
• the serious illness of a family member

Are you 100% sure?!!! Last time I made a table in WORD and I had no problem.

• the serious illness of a family member

The job opportunity should be a Canadian job opportunity. No urgent processing so that you can move to another country.
